Introduction
Pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) pose physiological responses on humans, animals and plants, even at low concentration (ng-µg/L).
Low removal efficiency in wastewater treatment plants.
Low cost, easy maintenance post-treatment process—constructed wetlands.

Conclusion
Humus can increase Naproxen removal under 2 aerobic conditions and denitrification condition.
Abiotic environment was not controlled well under anaerobic conditions where some bacteria still metabolize.

Recommendation
To ensure abiotic environment for anaerobic conditions, it is suggested to use other inhibitors instead of HgCl2.
For further research in the next step, use enrichment bacteria instead of raw sediment, which could avoid sorption in the experiment.
