Treated wastewater effluent increases pharmaceutical concentrations and alters benthic microbial communities in streams

Wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluent can be a point source of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) to surface waters, and these biologically active compounds have the potential to select for resistant traits and taxa within aquatic microbial communities. The goals of this study w...
