چکیده
Introduction There is growing environmental concern regarding the health impact of trace levels of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in the environment. PPCPs and endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) detected in surface and drinking waters, as well as in treated wastewater, are an issue of increasing international attention due to potential environmental impacts.1,2 These compounds are distributed widely in surface waters due to anthropogenic activities, improper disposal, and agricultural runoff. This presents a major challenge to drinking water treatment facilities, which are required to provide potable water that meets regulatory requirements for human consumption.

متن کاملComparative uptake and translocation of pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) by common vegetables.
Reuse of treated wastewater to irrigate agricultural crops is increasing in many arid and semi-arid areas around the world. The presence of numerous pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) in treated wastewater and their potential transfer into food produce such as vegetables poses an unknown human health risk. The goal of this study was to identify PPCPs that have a comparatively hig...
