Presently, many pharmaceuticals are listed as emerging contaminants since they are considered to be great potential threats to environmental ecosystems. These contaminants, thus, present significant research interest due to their extensive use and their physicochemical and toxicological properties. This review discusses a whole range of findings that address various aspects of the usage, occurrence, and potentially environmental risks of pharmaceuticals released from various anthropogenic sources, with emphasis on the aquatic systems in Vietnam. The published information and collected data on the usage and occurrence of antibiotics and synthetic hormone in effluents and aquatic systems of Vietnam is reported. This is followed by a potential ecological risk assessment of these pollutants. The extensive use of antibiotics and synthetic hormones in Vietnam could cause the discharge and accumulation of these contaminants in the aquatic systems and potentially poses serious risks for ecosystems. Vietnam is known to have extensively used antibiotics and synthetic hormones, so these contaminants are inevitably detected in aquatic systems. Thus, an appropriate monitoring program of these contaminants is urgently needed in order to mitigate their negative effects and protect the ecosystems.
目前，许多药品被列为新兴污染物，因为它们被认为对环境生态系统构成了巨大的潜在威胁。这些污染物因其广泛的使用以及它们的物理化学和毒理学特性而引起了极大的研究兴趣。本综述讨论了一系列研究结果，这些研究结果涉及从各种人为来源释放的药品的使用、出现和潜在环境风险的各个方面，重点是越南的水生系统。报告了有关抗生素和合成激素在越南污水和水生系统中的使用和出现的已发表信息和收集数据。随后对这些污染物进行了潜在的生态风险评估。越南大量使用抗生素和合成激素，可能导致这些污染物在水生系统中的排放和积累，并对生态系统构成严重威胁。众所周知，越南广泛使用抗生素和合成激素，因此这些污染物不可避免地会在水生系统中检测到。因此，迫切需要制定适当的监测计划来监测这些污染物，以减轻其负面影响并保护生态系统。
