The basic characteristics of selected antidepressants were presented. A review of the literature on the occurrence of these compounds in sewage influents and effluents, surface waters and sludge was made. As a general rule, drinking water should be free of any organic, especially pharmaceutical, contaminants. But according to data, the presence of antidepressants in source water for water purification plants poses a threat to their penetration to the water supply system and, eventually, to consumers of water intended for human consumption.}, doi = {10.4467/2353737XCT.16.204.5953}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/czasopismo-techniczne/artykul/occurrence-of-antidepressants-from-wastewater-to-drinking-water} }
