Abstract: Most of pharmaceutical products are considered as emergent pollutants. This represents a growing concern, especially in developed countries, where they are frequently used. Water waste treatment plants degrade partially these pollutants while others remain unaltered and are detected in the plant effluents, as it was reported in numerous studies [1,2]. Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ), a thiazide diuretic frequently used in the treatment of hypertension, appears as one of the twenty most detected and persistent compound in wastewater tributaries in Spain, Canada and Netherlands [3].
