| Description | Pharmaceuticals that are administered to humans are excreted in varying degrees, thereby entering the sewerage system. Partial removal and redistribution occurs during sewage treatment. However, a number of pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) are known to persist in treated effluents. This topic is of obvious significance for effluent intended for aquifer storage and recovery (ASR). This study identified PhACs likely to be found in significant concentration in treated Australian wastewater. Consideration of physical, chemical and biochemical properties of these compounds allowed prediction of their likely partitioning behaviour and biodegradation during ASR. The information presented in this paper will form the framework required for a full analysis of the fate of a wide range of PhACs in a real ASR situation.
