Aim of this diploma thesis is to study presence of SSRI, statins and hypoglycemic drugs in the environment. Drugs from these farmacodynamic groups were detected in the environment in concentrations ranging from ng/l to μg/l. Selected drugs from SSRI group were fluoxetine, citalopram, fluvoxamine, sertraline, paroxetine and escitalopram. In water samples they were detected in concentration ranging from tens to hundreds ng/l, they were also detected in soils and sediments. Toxicity for water biota was also proven.
