Ecopharmacovigilance Multidisciplinary Approaches to Environmental Safety of Medicines
The indiscriminate use of medications and their inadequate disposal have resulted in them being released into the environment via municipal, hospital and industrial discharges. This volume critically examines the presence of pharmaceuticals in aquatic ecosystems, the hazards they entail, and how to...
