Sažetak
Pharmaceuticals and their related metabolites are subjected to natural transformation/removal processes in the environment, based on their hydrophobicity, biodegradability, and the environmental conditions, which explains their presence at trace levels in water sources and drinking water (Stefanakis, 2016). In this paper, the current concentrations of certain substances in the surface waters of Croatia are investigated. The emphasis is on pollutants from the Second Watch list of contaminants of emerging concern (WL) under the Water Framework Directive (WFD). The purification efficiency was tested in laboratory conditions and results were demonstrated.
