Predicted concentrations of antineoplastic drugs in the aquatic environment: The case of Ría de Vigo (NW, Spain)

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) mandates Environmental Risk Assessments (ERAs) since 2006 to determine potential risks of new marketed medicines. Drugs with a Predicted Environmental Concentration (PEC) in inland surface waters exceeding 0.01 μg L require further environmental risk assessment. P...

PEC may be refined based on prevalence data and/or based on the treatment regimen. In this study, based on EMA regulations, refined PEC of 108 antineoplastic drugs in coastal waters were determined based on the consumption in a coastal health area during 2021, identifying six drugs with potential environmental risk in surface waters (hydroxyurea, capecitabine, abiraterone, ibrutinib, imatinib and 5-fluorouracil) and two in marine ecosystem (hydroxyurea and capecitabine).
