Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products as novel constituents in aquatic ecosystems
Synthetic chemicals such as pharmaceuticals and personal care products have increased in diversity and use over the last 50 years. These compounds are frequently detected in surface waters throughout the world and are now a part of freshwater ecosystems. Understanding the influence and fate of these compounds on ecosystem structure and function is a recent area of research for aquatic ecologists. Here we provide a review of the types of effects these compounds have on aquatic ecosystem functions from primary production, ecosystem respiration, to nutrient cycling. In addition, we review evidence that these compounds influence the structure of aquatic communities from algae, to bacteria, to invertebrates. We also review how these compounds affect the ecology of aquatic organisms including predator prey interactions, life history and population dynamics. Finally, we review the potential for these compounds to biomagnify in food webs and discuss how these compounds may move from aquatic to terrestrial ecosystems via animals. In total, research demonstrates that these compounds affect both the structure and function of aquatic ecosystems and these compounds move through aquatic food webs, with as yet unknown consequences.
