Abstract The book Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs in Water: Emerging
Contaminants and Ecological Impact includes knowledge about the problem of the
presence of NSAIDs in aquatic ecosystems, their effects on aquatic organisms, and
useful methods to reduce their impact on the environment. This chapter summarizes
the main conclusions about the history of NSAIDs as emerging pollutants, their
presence in water bodies around the world, toxic effects of these compounds on
aquatic organisms, effective chemical and biological methods for their removal, and
the legal framework for presence of these compounds in water bodies in the world.
Keywords Legal framework, NSAIDs, Occurrence, Removal methods, Toxic
effects
1 Conclusions and Study Trends
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have been frequently detected in
water bodies around the world at concentrations ranging from ng/L to μg/L. This
group of medicines has been identified in influents and effluents from wastewater
treatment plants but also in lakes, rivers, industrial and hospital effluents, surface and
groundwaters, and drinking water and sludge.
