Abstract

Pharmaceuticals and their human metabolites are significant sources of micropollutants in the aquatic environments due to incomplete removal during wastewater treatment. While parent compounds have been widely studied, the fate of their metabolites across treatment stages remains poorly understood, despite the fact that most pharmaceuticals are excreted in metabolized forms. Using a combination of full-scale wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) observations, laboratory experiments, and modeling, this study aimed to assess and compare the
