The EU Wants to Remove Drugs From Water

      

    The efforts made in Uppsala, Sweden to clean harmful drugs from water are truly commendable. It is worrying that even small amounts of drugs used by people can have a harmful impact on aquatic life and the environment. The innovative approach they are taking, using advanced technologies such as activated carbon and anion exchange to remove specific drugs from water, is an important step towards mitigating this problem.The European Union's initiative to require pharmaceutical companies to carry out environmental risk assessments is a promising step to address this problem at its source. Encouraging the pharmaceutical industry to develop more sustainable medicines could be a game-changer for reducing environmental impact.The pilot project in Uppsala, which will conclude in 2024, is expected to provide valuable information that can be applied globally to improve water quality and protect aquatic ecosystems.
