Overall Introduction

Dan Minchin; Bella S. Galil; Matej David; Stephan Gollasch; Sergej Olenin

The occurrence of human and veterinary pharmaceuticals in soil and water (; ; ; ) has led to increased research activities among environmental scientists to find out their possible environmental threats. As antibiotics are used for human and animal medical care, there is a possibility for these drugs to reach the environment via direct or indirect contamination (; ). As they are produced and applied with the aim of being biologically highly effective, their occurrence is of ecotoxicological interest. In Berlin, Germany, the groundwater wells located near contaminated surface waters showed a concentration of pharmaceuticals at the µg/L level (). Thus, at such a level of contamination, the use of groundwater for drinking purposes may pose a potential risk. Studies on the behavior of animal drugs and their metabolites after excretion, along with their transport from agricultural sources into surface water and groundwater by overland-flow runoff and leaching, are of utmost importance at present.
