Abstract(s)

Micropollutants are substances which are found in very low concentration (μg/L or ng/L) in water bodies [1]. However, these compounds are only partially filtered by effluent treatment plants (ETEs), which results in water and soil contamination and can become both an environmental and health hazard [2]. One such micropollutant is naproxen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), prescribed worldwide to the relief of several inflammatory diseases [2,3]. Naproxen’s chemical structure is presented in the following Figure
