Abstract
The progress of four pharmaceuticals (bezafibrate, carbamazepine, clarithromycin and ciprofloxacin) is followed through the treatment stages (screened sewage, settled sewage and final effluent) of a large urban wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) employing activated sludge treatment. Concentrations at the inlet to the WWTP are generally higher than those predicted from consideration of local pharmaceutical consumption and typical excretion data. Percentage removal efficiencies are variable (22.5 – 94.3%) with carbamazepine being the most resistant to elimination.
