After taking medication,the drug will get
absorbed, distributed through the body,
metabolised and eventually
excreted from the body.
Excreted pharmaceutical products can end up in our sewage systems.
This can happen anywhere: in our homes, schools, hospitals and other healthcare facilities. Other contributors to the rising concern of pharmaceuticals in our waters are drug producing factories.
These pharmaceuticals have shown harmful side effects on marine animals and can possibly be dangerous to humans as well.
For a more detailed discussion you can visit our Project Description.
So we talked to water treatment companies, specialists and other involving parties about this issue.
See more on Integrated Human Practices.
We discovered a problem
involving the analysis of water
within these companies and
came up with a Project Design to solve this.
We went into the laboratory
and did some experiments, which
resulted into interesting findings.
