Abstract There is an increasing eco-toxicological risk associated with pharmaceuticals globally. The prevalence of six active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) was studied in effluents three manufacturing plants (PMPs) and two wastewater treatment (WWTPs) Kampala, Uganda to ascertain the removal potentials for APIs. APIs include atenolol, losartan, carbamazepine, sulfamethoxazole, clarithromyci...

As important parameters in the characterization of aerobic granulation, shape and average diameter were related to substrates. The previous studies disclosed that morphology change granules was result growth relatively strong hydrodynamic shear force. No further exploration size distribution has been conducted. To better understand impact toxic compounds on granules’ during their formation, pro...

Pharmaceutical personal care products (PPCPs) have increased in consumption due to the worldwide post-pandemic situation, marking them as chemical and pathogenic pollutants significantly higher concentrations than ever ecosystem. Considering inexplicable levels of these residues discharged into environment, concerns been raised regarding their probable ecotoxicity marine terrestrial life. A fur...

Non-negligible concentrations of chemicals products are often contained in worldwide wastewaters. Although they can be eco-toxic, generally poorly removed water treatment plants. Their accumulation the environment has become a crucial problem since present serious risk to flora and fauna. An important fraction these molecules pharmaceuticals, including ibuprofen, paracetamol, aspirin, diclofena...
