The regulation and monitoring of pharmaceutical pollution in Europe lag behind that more prominent groups. However, the repurposing sales data to predict surface water environmental concentrations is a promising supplement commonly used market-based risk assessment measurement approaches. The Norwegian Institute Public Health (NIPH) has since 1980s compiled Drug Wholesale Statistics data...

An investigation was carried out in the New York City Watershed for the presence of selected pharmaceuticals. In four seasonal sampling events between August 2003 and May 2004, surface water was collected from eight reservoir keypoints and effluent was collected from four wastewater treatment plants. We evaluated the following twelve compounds: amoxicillin, atenolol, caffeine, carbamazepine, ce...

In the 21st century, development of technology and science has brought with it polluting consequences. Quite a large share them by pharmaceutical industry There is pollution environment, mostly hydrosphere, various products. Such an action may have serious consequences, such as provoking diseases in humans or animals, hormonal imbalance, bacterial resistance to antimicrobial agents, congenital ...

Until about 1950, sugar coating was the first choice as coating agent for pharmaceutical preparation and much time & efforts were spent in perfecting the sugar coating techniques. Nobody ever was concerned about the problems like material cost, toxic effect due to coating or pollution etc. because the solvent used was always water. However, sugar coating technique was time consuming, affecting ...

BACKGROUND Urban pollution is a major source of concern for human health and is a complex of many environmental factors. The topical exposure to pollution activates cutaneous stress. OBJECTIVE In this study, we tested the antipollution protection of two active components: Dead Sea minerals (Dead Sea mineral-rich water [DSW]) and anionic polysaccharide (PolluStop® [PS]). MATERIALS AND METHOD...

Two bacterial strains were isolated from pharmaceutical effluents discharged soil. The samples were identified as Klebsiella pneumonia and Pseudomonas aeruginosa the biological degradation was carried on two bacterial isolates separately added to pharmaceutical effluent water. After proper interval were analysed the physic chemical parameters such as pH, Turbidity, Chemical oxygen demand (COD),...

Recently, the major area of concern is the presence of the emerging pollutants in wastewaters, surface waters and ground waters. In most cases, the emerging contaminants refers to the unregulated pollutants, which can be included for future regulation depending upon research on their health effects and their occurrence. They generally includes surfactants, illicit drugs, endocrine disruptors, p...

Pectinases, a cocktail enzyme consists of group of enzymes that degrade the pectin substances that is present in the middle lamella of plants. The Pectin mainly constitutes Dgalacturonic acid based on α1, 4 glycosidic linkages and forms a macromolecule. This Pectinases enzyme breakdown the complex polysaccharides into simple molecules like galacturonic acids. As the global trend was increased t...
