IEAM Special Issue: Environmental Risk Assessment of Pharmaceuticals (ERAPharm)
The widespread detection of pharmaceuticals in the environment has raised concern about the potential impact of these bioactive substances. During the past few years, our understanding of the effects of pharmaceuticals in the environment has progressed significantly. However, there are a number of uncertainties concerning the assessment of potential exposure and the effects of pharmaceuticals on the environment that must be addressed before risks can be fully evaluated.
To further explore these uncertainties, in a special supplement to the July 2010 issue of IEAM, participants in the ERAPharm program published papers on the potential risks that drugs pose to the environment.
