The fate and transport of 26 common human and veterinary antibiotics, four anti-inflammatories
(ibuprofen, diclofenac, ketoprofen, and naproxen), the anti-epileptic drug
carbamazepine, and a widely-used X-ray contrast agent, iohexol, in a small, urban watershed that
is impacted by wastewater discharges from three communities that include major hospitals,
several large residential nursing homes, and several research centers. The watershed ultimately
links an impacted reservoir to a downstream drinking water source, and the levels of these
pollutants in the aqueous phase have been evaluated in order to begin a comprehensive
ecological risk assessment associated with residual pharmaceutically active compounds in
surface waters. Includes 11 references, table, figures.
