Harmful effects of pharmaceutical pollution on the environment and its consequences

Abstract

In the 21st century, the development of technology and science has brought with it polluting consequences. Quite a large share of them by the pharmaceutical industry There is pollution of the environment, mostly the hydrosphere, with various pharmaceutical products. Such an action may have serious consequences, such as provoking diseases in humans or animals, hormonal imbalance, development of bacterial resistance to antimicrobial agents, congenital ugliness. In this article several studies are discussed in order to present the relevance and threats of the topic both in today's reality and in the future perspective. The main emphasis was placed on the development of antimicrobial resistance and on such chemical pollutants that have teratogenic and reproductive function-disrupting effects on the human body. Also calling for finding ways to avoid pharmaceutical contamination, as there is currently no proper control to avoid such dire consequences. Environmental pollutants have a negative effect on human health. Pharmaceutical pollution takes one of the leading places in this regard. It is important to take appropriate preventive measures to avoid severe consequences of pollution.  In addition, many studies should be conducted to develop the technologies needed to avoid pollution.
