Municipal wastewater in the Belgrade area is discharged into the Danube and the Sava
Rivers without any treatment. This affects the quality of river water since wastewater is one of the
most important sources of environmental pollutants, including pharmaceuticals. To assess the impact
of this effect, the presence of three commonly used antibiotics in wastewater and receiving river water
was determined. A previously developed liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method
for the analysis of antibiotics in natural water matrices was validated for wastewater and applied in
analysis of samples from the Belgrade area. All investigated antibiotics were detected in both
wastewater and river water samples. The highest concentration of antibiotics in wastewater was
found for sulfamethoxazole, while trimethoprim was detected at the highest level in surface water.
The most frequently detected antibiotic in surface water was azithromycin. The environmental risk
assessment was per...formed for surface water biota. Azithromycin was found to pose a high risk to
aquatic organisms, while the risk level of sulfamethoxazole was medium or low. In conclusion, the
obtained results show the detrimental impact of untreated wastewater discharge on the river water
quality in the Belgrade area, emphasizing the need for urban wastewater treatment.
