A recent and environmentally more sustainable approach to reducing the levels of pharmaceuticals and their impacts on the environment is to employ green pharmacy which incorporates the principles of green chemistry. These two concepts along with the

The generally very low concentrations of pharmaceutical species in natural environments make both their identification and quantitation very difficult particularly as they often occur as complex mixtures in a background matrix of uncharacterized natu

A significant proportion of the pharmaceuticals supplied by pharmacies are unused for many reasons and accumulate before ultimately needing disposal. In this chapter, the disposal of pharmaceuticals is discussed, and it is noted that appropriate disp

Approaches to lessen the real or potential adverse impact of pharmaceutical residues on the environment can include regional or national legislative controls at each step in their life-cycles beginning with their prescription and subsequent disposal,

The majority of the human pharmaceuticals that have been detected in the natural environment have arisen though their discharge in parent or metabolized forms into sewage wastewater which is then treated to various levels of purification to progressi

The specific pharmaceuticals that are used globally are governed by access policies (availability, costs, etc.). These policies have a significant impact on the types and volumes of pharmaceuticals that are consumed. These access policies can also ma

Pharmaceuticals have been detected throughout the environment where at least in some cases, they have been shown to have a detrimental effect. Many result from improper patient disposal of unused pharmaceuticals via environmentally-unfriendly routes,

Fluoroquinolones, such as enoxacin, are poorly removed by common sewage-treatment processes, leading to their discharge into the environment, where they have unknown, and potentially serious, impacts on plants and aquatic organisms. The aim of the re
