Medicines play an important role in the treatment and prevention of
disease in humans and animals, but residues from these medicines
can be released into the environment through a number of routes
during their manufacture, use and disposal. It is only recently
that the potential environmental impacts of this exposure to
pharmaceuticals are being considered. The book explores where
pharmaceutical residues can be found, e.g. in surface waters,
drinking water, sediments and the marine environment; the sources
of these residues, from manufacture through to disposal of unused
medicines; how these residues break down; and how this all impacts
on wildlife and human health. In reviewing the current position and
examining further possible impacts, this book is an important
reference for researchers working in the pharmaceutical industry,
as well as for environmentalists, policy makers and students on
pharmacy and environmental science courses wanting to better
understand the impacts of pharmaceuticals on the environment.
