dc.description.abstractPharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are chemicals of anthropogenic origin. With the developing technology, the intensive use and unconscious disposal of PPCPs, whose varieties, numbers, and spread around the world have increased rapidly, have been a serious concern in recent years. Medical and personal wastes, sewage, and industrial and agricultural activities are the main sources of PPCPs. Not only drugs used by people, but also medicines, fertilizers, and similar substances used in agricultural activities can leak into the soil and mix with groundwater and drinking water and cause serious pollution. Although PPCPs are not classified as persistent organic pollutants, many of them exhibit properties similar to persistent organic pollutants. Because PPCPs are continuously discharged into the environment, they are included in the so-called pseudo-persistent class. This review summarizes current information on the classification of PPCPs, their occurrence in the environment, their impact on the functioning of the ecosystem, their transport to soil and water, their infiltration, and environmental exposure to PPCPs. © 2022 Elsevier Inc.
