A Proactive Approach to Improving and Protecting the Environment
The accumulation of pharmaceuticals in the environment is a growing
concern, the magnitude of which has not been determined, yet cannot
be ignored. Touting the benefits of research and discovery as it
relates to a pharmaceutical presence in the environment,
Pharmaceutical Accumulation in the Environment: Prevention,
Control, Health Effects, and Economic Impact explores ways to
effectively minimize the harmful impact of environmental
contaminants. It considers current practice in the field, provides
a historical reference, and presents effective methods for
detecting and containing low levels of environmental contaminants.
It also offers practical suggestions for mobilizing private and
public resources. Discusses Health Impacts and Risks to Humans and
Other Living Species The contributors of this work consider
important environmental contaminants that include pharmaceuticals,
personal care products, and special products, such as contrast
agents and illicit drugs. This book describes current health impact
concerns, methods for assessing risk, and lessening the negative
impact on health through research and analysis. It examines the
costs of wastewater treatment, and considers ways to potentially
reduce the effect of environmental contaminants in treated water
and in the soil. It looks at what may be done about contaminated
soil and landfills, addresses the costs of contaminant elimination,
and suggests ways to get rid of contaminants sensibly and
consistently. It also includes case histories and chapters authored
by specialists who are experts in their fields. Developed as a
reference for professionals and senior undergraduate and graduate
students in environmental science/ecotoxicology, the text proposes
advancements and applications that can help control pharmaceutical
accumulation and improve the environment. It serves as a resource
for those in the pharmaceutical industries, personal care product
industries, and related areas; scientists and researchers in
related areas; as well as environmental protection agencies,
physicians, and medical personnel.
