The indiscriminate use of medications and their inadequate disposal
have resulted in them being released into the environment via
municipal, hospital and industrial discharges. This volume
critically examines the presence of pharmaceuticals in aquatic
ecosystems, the hazards they entail, and how to minimize their
impact on the environment. The topics covered include: historical
findings that have made the development of the discipline
ecopharmacovigilance possible; the main exposure routes, fate and
life cycle of pharmaceuticals in water; occurrence data and the
impact on biodiversity; methods used for the detection, analysis
and quantification of pharmaceuticals in water and for their
removal; current legislation on the presence of emerging
contaminants in water; biosensors for environmental analysis and
monitoring; and the measures needed to reduce the existing
problems. This book is aimed at students, academics and research
workers in the fields of toxicology, ecology, microbiology and
chemistry, as well as those in the pharmaceutical industry, health
sector professionals, and members of government bodies involved in
environmental protection and legislation.
