Our understanding of the behaviour and fate of pharmaceuticals in aquatic systems remain imperfect. This is because limited long-term data exists on speciation, phase partitioning among various aquatic components, and uptake and bioaccumulation by aquatic organisms including food plants and animals. Moreover, the available data is limited to a few pharmaceuticals, while the biogeochemical behaviour and fate of a myriad of pharmaceuticals are still poorly understood.
