| Research Abstract |
In this study, we detected pharmaceuticals in Kurose river, a rural river located in Higashihiroshima city, Hiroshima, Japan. We observed their concentrations were higher than those of reported. Photodegradation of pharmaceuticals caused by sun irradiation may be of major elimination process in natural. In this study, we carried out the ultraviolet (UV) irradiation experiments for nine pharmaceuticals. The toxicity of pharmaceuticals was changed by UV irradiation.
