Larsson, Joakim
- Abstract
The author stresses the need for new management strategies to address the release of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) from manufacturing sites, citing the Patancheru (PETL) production site in Hyderabad, India as a case in point. Several drugs were found in the treated effluents at PETL at high concentration levels. A study conducted on the elevated concentrations of drugs found have demonstrated that the effluent from PETL is toxic to micro-organisms, plants, invertebrates and aquatic vertebrates.
