Pharmaceutical wastewater presents a significant environmental challenge due to its complex composition, which includes active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), heavy metals, solvents, and other persistent contaminants. These substances pose risks to public/human health and to aquatic ecosystems, making effective treatment strategies a critical priority for the industry.
This project focuses on guiding pharmaceutical industries towards the adoption of more efficient and sustainable wastewater treatment options/solutions. Through an in-depth assessment of pharmaceutical effluents, current treatment technologies and regulatory requirements.
