Book Summary
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
