Abstract

Active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are increasingly entering aquatic environments due to human and veterinary use, wastewater discharges, and inadequate waste containment, raising significant concerns for both ecosystems and human health. Ibuprofen and valproic acid are among the pharmaceuticals detected in surface waters, primarily due to incomplete metabolism and the limited removal efficiency of conventional wastewater treatment systems. Ibuprofen, readily available over the counter, is frequently found in high concentrations, while valproic acid, which is available only by prescripti
