The elimination of 81 pharmaceuticals (PhACs) by means of a biological treatment based on the fungus Trametes versicolor was evaluated in this work. PhAC removal studied in different types of wastewaters (urban, reverse osmosis concentrate, hospital, and veterinary hospital wastewaters) were reviewed and compared with conventional activated sludge (CAS) treatment. In addition, hazard indexes were calculated based on the exposure levels and ecotoxicity for each compound and used for the evaluation of the contaminants removal. PhAC elimination achieved with the fungal treatment (mean value 76%) was similar or slightly worse than the elimination achieved in the CAS treatment (85%). However, the fungal reactor was superior in removing more hazardous compounds (antibiotics and psychiatric drugs) than the conventional activated sludge in terms of environmental risk reduction (93% and 53% of reduction respectively). Fungal treatment can thus be considered as a good alternative to conventional treatment technologies for the elimination of PhACs from wastewaters.
本研究采用真菌彩绒革盖菌（Trametes versicolor）进行生物处理，评估了其去除 81 种药品（PhACs）的效果。综述了不同类型废水（城市废水、反渗透浓缩水、医院废水和兽医医院废水）中 PhAC 的去除情况，并与传统活性污泥（CAS）处理进行了比较。此外，还根据每种化合物的暴露水平和生态毒性计算了危害指数，用于评估污染物的去除情况。真菌处理的 PhAC 去除率（平均值为 76%）与 CAS 处理（85%）相当或略低。然而，就减少环境风险而言，真菌反应器在去除更危险的化合物（抗生素和精神药物）方面优于传统活性污泥（分别减少 93%和 53%）。因此，真菌处理可以被认为是一种替代传统处理技术的方法，可用于从废水中去除 PhACs。
