TY - JOUR TI - Occurrence of antidepressants – from wastewater to drinking water AU - Rejment, Mariusz AU - Balcerzak, Wojciech TI - Occurrence of antidepressants – from wastewater to drinking water AB - The article’s subject is the presence of antidepressants in the wastewater and aquatic environment. 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.
