TL;DR: Human health risk assessments indicate that concentrations in groundwater, which is used as a drinking water source, appear to pose minimal risk, and risk calculations conducted on the wastewater effluent suggest that the risk posed by PPCPs that persisted in the effluent are medium to high to aquatic organisms.

Uptake of Three Antibiotics and an Antiepileptic Drug by Wheat Crops Spray Irrigated with Wastewater Treatment Plant Effluent
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that PPCPs can be taken up into wheat plants and adhere to plant surfaces when WWTP effluent is spray-irrigated, raising the question of potential health risks for humans and animals.

TL;DR: In this article, the performance of biochar pyrolysis was investigated for the removal of pharmaceuticals from aqueous solution. And the results indicated that high surface area biochars with physico-chemical properties conducive to strong interactions with polar-nonpolar functionality of pharmaceutical compounds could be used to achieve significant contaminant removal from water.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose to incorporate stakeholder engagement into environmental management, which may help in the pursuit of novel approaches for addressing complex water resource problems, but there is no evidence about how and under what circumstances such engagement occurs.
