Pharmaceuticals are emerging contaminants that often persist through wastewater treatment plants, and therefore are generally present in drinking water sources. These contaminants create threats to human health by consumption of contaminated water and food crops. The objective of this research is to investigate the potential for zero valent iron (ZVI) and biochar in removing six targeted pharmaceuticals (acetaminophen, ibuprofen, docusate, sulfapyridine, erythromycin and pseudoephedrine) from treated wastewater sources that are potentially reused for irrigation.
