Abstract
The widespread use of pharmaceuticals in human and veterinary medicine has led to a continuous release of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and their metabolites into aquatic environments. Nonetheless, the toxicological consequences of the APIs are not definitively governed by their environmental occurrence. Water chemistry factors regulate the ecotoxicity of APIs jointly. The linkage between the detected occurrence of API residues and the realistic risk engendered by the compounds is bioavailability. This dissertation developed a model framework that simulate the influence of pH and dissolved organic carbon on the bioavailability of antibiotics such as ciprofloxacin. It aims to provide an innovative method for the risk assessment of antibiotics in natural environments.
