Abstract:	The presence of pharmaceuticals, their metabolites and transformation products in the aquatic environment has become an increased concern in the last decades. The widespread presence of medicines in the environment can be explained by extensive use in medical practices and incomplete removal in Waste Water Treatment Plant. This paper provides a summary of knowledge about occurrence, fate and effects of more frequently used pharmaceuticals and some experimental data about accumulation properties of oxytetracycline in environmental and fish samples.
Keywords:	pharmaceuticals, tetracycline, effects, bioaccumulation, elimination half-life
