Abstract
Finally, the potential ecotoxicological risk posed by SSRIs to different trophic levels of aquatic organisms, exposed to the effluent wastewaters studied was evaluated by means of risk quotients (RQ). Citalopram and paroxetine, the only SSRIs found in these samples, presented RQ lower than 1. According to the results, algae appeared to be the most sensitive followed by fish and daphnids.
