The detection rates of pharmaceuticals (Ps), personal care products (PCPs), current-use pesticides (CUPs) and a food additive (FA) in Brisbane River estuary (Queensland), Sydney estuary (New South Wales) and the Yarra River estuary (Melbourne, Victoria) were: Ps: 16/25, 7/25 and 12/25, respectively, CUPs; 28/53, 5/53 and 23/53, respectively, PCPs: 1/3, 0/3 and, 1/3, respectively and FA; 1/1, 1/1 and 1/1, respectively. Diuron was measured in all estuarine samples, simazine, MCPA and 2,4 D were also commonly measured. Pharmaceuticals: carbamazepine, iopromide paracetamol tramadol and venlafaxine were also commonly measured across the estuaries. Generally, analytes were prominent in Brisbane River estuary, followed by Yarra River/Sydney estuary. Inputs of Ps are likely from leakages or effluents of WWTPs; CUPs are potentially from agricultural and parklands via surface run-off in Brisbane River estuary, while for Sydney and Yarra estuaries, which have separate stormwater and sewer systems, sources are likely to be ingression and leakage.
布里斯班河河口（昆士兰州）、悉尼河口（新南威尔士州）和雅拉河河口（维多利亚州墨尔本）的药物（Ps）、个人护理产品（PCPs）、当前使用的农药（CUPs）和一种食品添加剂（FA）的检出率分别为：Ps：16/25、7/25 和 12/25，CUPs：28/53、5/53 和 23/53，PCPs：1/3、0/3 和 1/3，FA：1/1、1/1 和 1/1。所有河口样本均检测到了敌草隆，西玛津、MCPA 和 2,4-D 也经常被检测到。药物：卡马西平、碘普罗胺、扑热息痛、曲马多和文拉法辛也在整个河口地区经常被检测到。一般来说，分析物在布里斯班河河口很明显，其次是雅拉河/悉尼河口。Ps 的输入可能来自于 WWTP 的泄漏或废水；CUPs 可能来自于农业和公园用地，通过布里斯班河河口的地表径流，而对于悉尼和雅拉河口，它们有单独的雨水和污水系统，来源可能是入侵和泄漏。
