Implication

Assesses pharmaceutical pollution in a UNESCO site, indicating significant natural attenuation mechanisms.

Key Points

  • The aim is to assess the impact of pharmaceutical pollution in Pruhonice Park and the effectiveness of natural attenuation.
  • Screened water samples for 98 pharmaceuticals across nine sites in Pruhonice Park.
  • Conducted analysis using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).
  • Monitored samples throughout all four seasons.
  • Identified 20 pharmaceuticals with concentrations above the limit of detection.
  • Found upstream sources of pollution from a wastewater treatment plant and a village tributary.
  • Noted seasonal variations with lower concentrations in winter and spring, and extreme risks for certain pharmaceuticals.
