Tytuł: Pharmaceutical active compounds contamination and seasonal-based ecotoxicity assessment of the yamuna river for the Delhi stretch

Tytuł odmienny:

Ocena skażenia związkami farmaceutycznymi i sezonowej ekotoksyczności rzeki Jamuny na odcinku Delhi

Opis:

Yamuna River is the only river in Delhi. This results in heavy reliance on Yamuna to meet Delhi Water demands. This has prompted several research works covering physicochemical, biological, heavy metal concentration, emerging pollutant occurrence, and their risk assessment. This study investigated occurrence, seasonal variation (pre-monsoon, monsoon, and post-monsoon), and risk assessment posed by 7 PhACs at five sampling locations along a 22 km stretch of Yamuna River in Delhi. The samples were collected and analysed in pre-monsoon, monsoon, and post-monsoon seasons. The seven PhACs, comprised of 2 antibiotics (Ciprofloxacin; CIP, sulfamethoxazole; SMZ), 2 NSAIDs (Paracetamol; PCM, Ketoprofen; KPF), 1 anxiety control (Lorazepam, LOR), 1 anticonvulsant (Carbamazepine; CBZ) and 1 statin (Fluvastatin; FUT). The PhACs range of occurrence across three seasons was PCM 75-589 ng L-1, KPF 31-238 ng L-1, CBZ 11-192 ng L-1, LOR 62-462 ng L-1, CIP 48-192 ng L-1, SMZ 192-1534 ng L-1, and FUT 0-421 ng L-1. The seasonal occurrence was in the order of post-monsoon> pre-monsoon> monsoon. PCM, CBZ FUT posed a negligible ecotoxicological risk, LOR posed a low-medium risk, and ketoprofen, ciprofloxacin, and sulfamethoxazole posed high risks. Based on the risk index, all seasons have high ecological risk at every sample point. Discharges of untreated sewage and insufficient and inefficient treated wastewater are the primary contributors of PhACs in the Yamuna River. This study concludes that existing WWTPs need drastic upgrades. Policies and measures should also be developed to prevent untreated wastewater from reaching the Yamuna River. This necessitates further studies to investigate processes suitable for installing and treating wastewater along the longitudinal section of the drain and assess their technical feasibility.
