Occurrence, fate and environmental risk assessment of pharmaceutical compounds in soils amended with organic wastes

•Human and animal organic wastes have different potential of contamination in pharmaceuticals.•Organic wastes from the same WWTP have different concentrations of pharmaceuticals.•Soil physicochemical characteristics are modified with organic wastes amendment.•Application of 3 Mg ha−1 of sludge leached weak content of pharmaceuticals.•Sewage sludge pharmaceuticals induces an environmental risk.
