Abstract (croatian)

Farmaceutici su spojevi koji se upotrebljavaju za liječenje ili sprječavanje bolesti ljudi i životinja te kao promotori rasta u veterinarskoj medicini. Posljedica upotrebe farmaceutika je njihova prisutnost u okolišu gdje se zbog različitih fizikalno-kemijskih svojstava vežu na tlo i sediment ili podliježu abiotičkim (hidroliza i fotoliza) ili biotičkim (biološka razgradnja bakterijama i gljivicama) procesima razgradnje. Rezultat navedenih procesa vodi smanjenju koncentracije početne molekule farmaceutika te nastanku novih spojeva koji mogu biti više ili manje stabilni i toksični u odnosu na početnu molekulu farmaceutika. U većini dosadašnjih istraživanja određivane su koncentracije farmaceutika u okolišu, a još uvijek se malo zna o njihovu ponašanju i sudbini u okolišu. Stoga su kroz pojedina poglavlja u ovom radu objašnjeni procesi kojima su farmaceutici podvrgnuti u okolišu.

Abstract (english)

Pharmaceuticals are used for the purpose of preventing or treating diseases in humans and animals, as well as growth promoters in veterinary medicine. The consequence of using pharmaceuticals is their presence in the environment. Once they reach the environment, many processes occur, such as abiotic processes (hydrolysis and photolysis) and biotic processes (biodegradation by bacteria and fungi) or sorption to soil and sediment. These processes lead to the reduction of pharmaceuticals concentration in the environment. Furthermore, the mentioned processes could result in different products that are more or less stable and toxic than the parent compound. Numerous papers have reported the levels of pharmaceuticals in the environment, while little is still known about their behaviour and fate in the environment. Therefore, in this paper, all the mentioned processes are described and discussed.
