Pharmaceutical waste appears to be one of the dominant elements present in our waters and other aspects of the environment. These aforementioned elements are widely becoming a concern in today's society as their effects have been proven to be harmful to our environment and all its existing life forms. In various ways, controllable or uncontrollable, pharmaceutical waste is slowly and increasingly multiplying its presence in the environment. In addition, it ends up flowing into our waterways and causes a lot of damage. Some of the most common ways that these wastes end up in water include: disposal through drainage systems, agricultural fertilization methods, and maintenance of sewage treatment plants. These methods are self-explanatory with their brief discussions, but they help determine whether the disposal of these hazardous wastes is intentional or not. The most common route by which pharmaceutical waste enters the environment is through disposal through drainage systems into wastewater and surface water. waters. According to Nikolaou et al (2007), wastewater from hospitals and municipal buildings are the main contributors to the disposal of human pharmaceutical compounds. Additionally, veterinary pharmaceuticals are released into the environment and end up in aquaculture, fields and runoff. The “main routes of contamination” of these drugs would be industrial and domestic disposal (Lawrence et al, 2005). Household waste is known to be the most consistent method of contamination, as people are constantly flushing pills down their toilets or down their sinks. On the contrary, industrial waste tends to be disposed of more accidentally due to paper...so the waste is not properly reduced through the use of traditional treatment processes (Han et al, 2005). .There are many pathways by which pharmaceutical waste can end up in our rivers, lakes and groundwater. It has also become a growing concern as it harms the environment as a whole as well as its various ecosystems. However, researchers have tried to find methods that can be implemented to eliminate this growing problem, and more and more tests have been carried out over the years to ensure a positive result on water quality. Many scientists and researchers have tested water samples in rivers, surface waters and sewage treatment plants around the world to ensure that pharmaceutical waste in water does not reach a level at which it would become extremely dangerous for the aquatic and agricultural environment. the cattle and ourselves.
