pharmaceutical residue

Do NOT dispose of drugs via the toilet or sink to protect water bodies and drinking water. With proper disposal, pharmaceuticals are destroyed through waste incineration and no longer pose a threat to the environment.

In this 4th Summer School on Sustainable Pharmacy special attention will be given to areas not taught in the regular study program. These are e.g. drug quality and the role of excipients, environmental, regulatory and legal aspects as well as pharmacoepidemiology and global aspects of sustainable pharmacy, like production outside of Europe and health systems of sub-Sahara Africa.

How pharmaceutical residues from sludge and slurry accumulate in the soil and what effect does this have demonstrated a workshop, the UBA held on 18 and 19 June 2013.
