Among the many types of pharmaceuticals, antibiotics 24272870 receive particular attention concerning their risk to the natural environment. Antibiotics are widely prescribed worldwide [1?], and thus are expected in receiving waters. Their presence in the aquatic environment is of concern as they are potentially harmful to organisms there. They are thought to foster bacterial resistance, for example [4?]. Not surprisingly, recent studies on the BMS-200475 biological activity occurrence of micropollutants in the environment include antibiotics [8?4]. Several field campaigns have reported fluctuations of pharmaceutical concentrations in receiving waters [9,12,15,16], the magnitude of which varies with location and substance. Roig [17] reported an extensive overview of different field campaigns focused on antibiotics and other pharmaceuticals in surface waters, including Wastewater Treatment Plant (WTP) influent and effluent. Since the temporal variation of pharmaceutical concentrations is a supplementary pressure on aquatic system preservation [18?0], understanding of such variations is an important challenge in environmental assessment and management. Antibiotics are present in both urban and rural environments. For the latter, their concentrations are often driven by veterinary use [14,21]. In urban settings, antibiotic concentrations in wastewater result from ambulatory and hospital consumption [22,23]. As a consequence, consumption data are needed to estimate their concentration. Several studies attempted to estimatewastewater pharmaceutical concentrations using sales data and the Predicted Environmental Concentration Model (PEC) [22?7]. These studies were not focused on short-term fluctuations as they considered only annual sales data. At present, no study has considered seasonality in consumption of antibiotics in urban settings. Here, we first investigated seasonality of antibiotic concentrations in w.Or of triplicated samples.
