Résumé

L'environnement aquatique est contaminé par des médicaments et leurs métabolites appartenant à différentes classes médicamenteuses. La présence de ces composés médicamenteux, souvent encore actifs, a plusieurs origines possibles. Leurs effets potentiels dans les différents compartiments environnementaux sont encore mal connus. L'impact en termes de risques sanitaires chez l'Homme reste également à étudier. Des modèles prédictifs permettent de déterminer les concentrations environnementales. Des stratégies analytiques, utilisant une instrumentation performante, doivent être conduites pour dresser l'inventaire de cette pollution d'un nouveau genre.

Abstract

The aquatic environment is contaminated by emerging pollutants such as pharmaceuticals and their metabolites, all belonging to various pharmaceutical categories. The presence of these pharmaceutical compounds has several possible origins. Their potential effects in different environmental compartments are still badly known. The health impact for human populations also remains to be studied. Predictive models allow determination of environmental concentrations. Analytical strategies using a performance instrumentation must be designed to draw up the inventory of this pollution of a new kind.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.

If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
