Detection, identification and determination of chiral pharmaceutical residues in wastewater: Problems and challenges

Chiral pharmaceuticals (CPs) are widely used in different areas of human life, thus they are frequentlydetected in different ecosystems. However, before CPs reach the environment, wastewater is subjected todifferent treatment processes in order to remove them. Nevertheless, such processes may affect thechirality of CPs, thus it is very important to monitor CP levels during the wastewater treatment.This review addresses the present state of knowledge concerning the input, occurrence, fate and ef-fects of CPs in the environment. It focuses primarily on wastewater analysis, problems and challengesconnected with trace levels of CP enantiomers and highly complex matrices of samples. Analytical ap-proaches used in detection, identification and determination of enantiomers are presented. The appli-cation of the results of wastewater analysis to obtain information on the population's health andbehaviour has been included and discussed. Moreover, the prospects of the future trends in greenenantiomeric analysis are described.
