Pharmaceutical compounds were investigated in river and riverbank filtration (RBF) water at the Mosina-Krajkowo site (Poland), 6 sampling campaigns between November 2019 June 2020. All of ten pharmaceutical tested for detected water. Carbamazepine, fluconazole, tramadol, sulphamethoxazole sulphapyridine most frequently found, highest concentrations being observed surface There was a reduction t...

Pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) and drugs of abuse (DAs) are two important groups of emerging environmental contaminants that have raised an increasing interest in the scientific community. A number of studies revealed their presence in the environment. This is mainly due to the fact that some compounds are not efficiently removed during wastewater treatment processes, being able to r...

In drinking water supply, riverbank filtration (RBF) is an efficient and cost-effective way of eliminating pathogens micropollutants using a combination biotic abiotic processes. Microbial communities in the hyporheic zone both contribute to are shaped by these quality at point consumption turn influenced source microbiome, treatment distribution system. Understanding microbial community shifts...

The aim of this study was to compare the efficiency pharmaceuticals and personal care products’ (PPCP) removal in waterworks at Káraný (Czech Republic) Dresden-Hosterwitz (Germany). Both use similar technology drinking water production (combination bank filtration artificial recharge) have river quality (Jizera Elbe river). A comparison 2-year monitoring results shows high removing PPCP contain...

We compared serological responses to Cryptosporidium parvum antigens using surplus sera from females undergoing routine screening for pregnancy from three counties in Hungary where bank-filtered surface water, conventionally filtered and disinfected surface water, and groundwater from either a karst or confined aquifer are commonly used for drinking water. The primary purpose was to determine w...
