Pharmaceuticals in the Environment: Current State of Research and Overcoming Collective Problems

Puntos clave

Environmental pollution by pharmaceuticals poses significant threats to human health and biota, particularly through their emergent presence in ecosystems.
Pharmaceuticals were detected in trace concentrations in both aquatic and terrestrial environments, thereby necessitating improved analytical methods.
The review identifies detoxification strategies and modern wastewater treatment methods that are crucial for addressing pharmaceutical pollution effectively.
Risk assessment within this scope requires continual updating of scientific information for formulating effective measures against environmental damage.

Resumen

Environmental pollution by pharmaceuticals is a new global environmental problem that threatens human health and biota. The active ingredients of drugs are found in trace concentrations in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems and are considered dangerous emergent pollutants. Their continuous emission into open ecosystems is uncontrolled, and detection has become possible due to the development of highly sensitive analytical methods. The review systematizes data on the occurrence of pharmaceutical micro-pollutants, their ecotoxicity, detoxification strategies, and modern methods of wastewater treatment and pharmaceutical waste disposal. Critical risk assessment requires constant updating of scientific information in order to develop effective measures to reduce the negative effects of pharmaceutical pollution. Specific steps are proposed to solve the problem in practice and minimize environmental damage.
