These compounds are considered to be pseudo-persistent because of their continuous release into water systems. The presence of these compounds in the environment at any concentration poses a potential risk to nontarget organisms. The main sources of these contaminants are wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and combined sewer overflows (CSOs). The primary goal of our study was to identify and quantify a panel of 28 commonly prescribed pharmaceuticals (mood-altering drugs, cardiovascular drugs, antacids, antibiotics) and high-prevalence drugs of abuse (cocaine, amphetamines, opioids, cannabis) in river water samples collected from 19 locations in the Hudson and East rivers in New York City. The second goal was to investigate the possible source (WWTP or CSOs) of these micropollutants. Samples were collected weekly from May to August 2021 (n\u2009=\u2009224) and May to August 2022 (n\u2009=\u2009232), and placed at \u221220\u2009\u00b0C until analysis by liquid chromatography\u2013tandem mass spectrometry. The most frequently detected analytes in 2021 were metoprolol (n\u2009=\u2009206, 92%), benzoylecgonine (n\u2009=\u2009151, 67%), atenolol (n\u2009=\u2009142, 63%), and methamphetamine (n\u2009=\u2009118, 53%), and in 2022 the most frequently detected were methamphetamine (n\u2009=\u2009194, 84%), atenolol (n\u2009=\u2009177, 76%), metoprolol (n\u2009=\u2009177, 76%), and 2-ethylene-1,5-dimethyl-3,3-diphenylpyrrolidine (n\u2009=\u2009159, 69%). Measured concentrations ranged from the limit of detection (0.50\u20135.00\u2009ng\/L) to 103\u2009ng\/L. More drugs and higher concentrations were detected in water contaminated by Enterococci (&amp;gt;60 most probably number) and after rainfall, indicating the influence of CSOs. The presence of drugs in samples with little to no Enterococci and after dry weather events indicates that WWTPs contribute to the presence of these substances in the river, probably due to a low removal rate.
