There are thousands of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in use around the world today. Sadly, the majority of these have not been fully tested to ascertain how long they will endure in the environment if they are allowed to infiltrate it, nor have their impacts upon flora and fauna been investigated to a satisfactory degree.
However, numerous studies have shown that PPCPs are present in wastewater effluents in alarmingly high concentrations. These findings have traditionally been arrived at by collecting samples from the effluent in question, then subjecting them to complex laboratory processes such as liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC-MS) to identify and isolate any PPCP components. Despite this state of affairs, pharmaceutical pollution receives far less attention than other contaminants, such as heavy metals and pesticides.
