Bernot, M.J., et al., Science of the Total Environment, 572:422-433, December 2016
We collaborated with 26 groups from universities across the United States to sample 42 sites for 33 trace organic compounds (TOCs) in water and sediments of lotic ecosystems. Our goals were 1) to further develop a national database of TOC abundance in United States lotic ecosystems that can be a foundation for future research and management, and 2) to identify factors related to compound abundance. Trace organic compounds were found in 93% of water samples and 56% of sediment samples. Dissolved concentrations were 10–1000 × higher relative to sediment concentrations. The ten most common compounds in water samples with detection frequency and maximum concentration were sucralose (87.5%, 12,000 ng/L), caffeine (77.5%, 420 ng/L), sulfamethoxazole (70%, 340 ng/L), cotinine (65%, 130 ng/L), venlafaxine (65%, 1800 ng/L), carbamazepine (62.5%, 320 ng/L), triclosan (55%, 6800 ng/L), azithromycin (15%, 970 ng/L), diphenylhydramine (40%, 350 ng/L), and desvenlafaxine (35%, 4600 ng/L). In sediment, the most common compounds were venlafaxine (32.5%, 19 ng/g), diphenhydramine (25%, 41 ng/g), azithromycin (15%, 11 ng/g), fluoxetine (12.5%, 29 ng/g) and sucralose (12.5%, 16 ng/g). Refractory compounds such as sucralose may be good indicators of TOC contamination in lotic ecosystems, as there was a correlation between dissolved sucralose concentrations and with the total number of compounds detected in water. Discharge and human demographic (population size) characteristics were not good predictors of compound abundance in water samples. This study further confirms the ubiquity of TOCs in lotic ecosystems. Although concentrations measured rarely approached acute aquatic-life criteria, the chronic effects, bioaccumulative potential, or potential mixture effects of multiple compounds are relatively unknown.

I don’t think the title of your article matches the content lol. Just kidding, mainly because I had some doubts after reading the article.
Thanks for sharing. I read many of your blog posts, cool, your blog is very good. binance code

Hurrah, that’s what I was seeking for, what a
information! existing here at this web site, thanks admin of this website.
I’d like to find out more? I’d care to find out more details.
I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was
curious what all is needed to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like
yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not
very web savvy so I’m not 100% positive. Any tips or
advice would be greatly appreciated. Kudos
Hey! Quick question that’s entirely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly?
My website looks weird when browsing from my iphone.
I’m trying to find a template or plugin that might be able
to fix this issue. If you have any recommendations, please share.

hello there and thank you for your information –
I’ve definitely picked up something new from right here.
I did however expertise some technical points using this
website, since I experienced to reload the site many times
previous to I could get it to load properly. I had been wondering if your web
hosting is OK? Not that I’m complaining, but slow loading instances times will
very frequently affect your placement in google and can damage your high quality score if ads and marketing with
