| Abstract: |
Diclofenac and Ibuprofen are pharmaceuticals which are considered as emerging contaminants due to their incomplete removal in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and consequently their occurrence in the environment. To date in Nigeria, there is no data on Diclofenac and Ibuprofen in wastewater due to a lack of sensitive analytical methods for their determination at trace levels. This research was aimed at determining the occurrence of Diclofenac and Ibuprofen in wastewater and river; investigating the removal efficiency of Diclofenac and Ibuprofen in wastewater; and evaluating the potential eco-toxicological effects of DFC and IBF in the aquatic environment. Wastewaters (influents/effluents) were collected from Alausa WWTP in Lagos and Odo-Iyalaro (receiving water body) for five consecutive days. Clean-up and pre-concentration of samples were achieved by Solid-Phase extraction (SPE) and SPE extracts were subjected to analysis with a developed HPLC-UV method. The HPLC-UV method was validated. The method was applied for the determination of Diclofenac and Ibuprofen in wastewater and river water during five consecutive days. Risk quotients (RQ) for each compound in wastewater and river water were also evaluated. Concentration profiles of Diclofenac and Ibuprofen in influents ranged from 0.325 to 1.634ng/L and 0.018 to 0.202ng/L respectively. In effluents, the concentration levels of Diclofenac ranged from 0.280 to 1.112ng/L while that of Ibuprofen ranged from 0.001 to 0.281ng/L. River samples contained 0.1426 to 1.0677ng/L of Diclofenac and 0.019 to 0.081ng/L of Ibuprofen. The removal efficiency of Diclofenac in wastewater ranged between 12.8 to 60.4% while that of Ibuprofen ranged between 68.9 to 96.5%. Risk Quotient was calculated for three different aquatic organisms (Fish, Daphnia and algae). RQ (generally lower than 0.01), therefore the two compounds posed very low eco-toxicological risks to the three aquatic organisms.
