This dataset expresses the experimental data on the batch adsorption of ciprofloxacin and lamivudine from synthetic solution using jamun seed (JS) () biochar. Independent variables including concentration of pollutants (10-500 ppm), contact time (30-300 min), adsorbent dosage (1-1000 mg), pH (1-14) and adsorbent calcination temperature (250,300, 600 and 750 °C) were studied and optimized using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Empirical models were developed to predict the maximum removal efficiency of ciprofloxacin and lamivudine, and the results were compared with the experimental data. The removal of polutants was more influenced by concentration, followed by adsorbent dosagage, pH, and contact time and the maximum removal reached 90%.

Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluates the ecological toxicity of selected active pharmaceutical compounds (APCs) like lamivudine, ciprofloxacin, and sulfamethoxazole using three organisms: Allium cepa, Daphnia magna, and Salmonella typhimurium, across a concentration range of 10 to 100 ppb.
- - Results indicated that individual exposure to these APCs led to high mortality rates in Daphnia magna, with sulfamethoxazole also showing mutagenic effects and lamivudine causing root growth issues in Allium cepa.
- - The combined exposure to these pharmaceuticals produced a synergistic effect, revealing greater toxicity than individual compounds, which raises concerns about their environmental impact and potential
Decadal Assessment of Microplastics, Pharmaceuticals, and Pesticides as Contaminants of Emerging Concern in Kenya's Surface Waters: A Review.

Studies investigating microplastics, pharmaceuticals, and pesticides as contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in surface water sources in Kenya are reviewed. Contaminants of emerging concern are chemicals that have recently been discovered that may pose a threat to the environment, aquatic life, and human life. Microplastics in surface waters range from 1.

There has been a significant increase in antimicrobial agents (AAs) usage, globally - however the relative consumption is unevenly distributed between nations. Inappropriate use of antibiotics can harbour inherent antimicrobial resistance (AMR); therefore, it is important to understand and monitor community-wide prescribing and consumption behaviours throughout different communities around the world. Wastewater-Based Epidemiology (WBE) is a novel tool enabling low cost and large scale studies focussed on AA usage patterns.

Pharmaceutical compounds (PCs) have globally emerged as a significant group of environmental contaminants due to the constant detection of their residues in the environment. The main scope of this review is to fill the void of information on the knowledge on the African occurrence of selected PCs in environmental matrices in comparison with those outside Africa and their respective toxic actions on both aquatic and non-aquatic biota through ecotoxicity bioassays. To achieve this objective, the study focused on commonly used and detected pharmaceutical drugs (residues).
