Fears of increased drug residues in water
It's time to actually reduce pollution pharmacist after an increase in frightening signs that point to its spread in the water, although this did not cause pollution, harm to humans so far.
The water that pours from faucets or taps U.S. homes pure, clear and generally safe, although delicious drink of feeling may not feel up to eating a bowl of water natural springs. And in the United States are monitoring about 170 thousand of public water systems for the detection of nearly 80 harmful substances. These include the types of prohibited substances harmful bacteria, viruses, pesticides, petroleum products, and strong acids and some minerals.
However, water quality experts and environmentalists seem to growing fears of another type of pollution caused by chemicals found in prescription drugs and those that are sold without a prescription, that leaks water around lakes and rivers and streams. The contaminated water also perfumes and cosmetics and Alcolonya skin and sun protection products that leaks when washing the skin and face.
So far there is no evidence of any fact that in the pharmaceutical and personal products in the water harmful to humans, but studies suggest that their adverse effects on aquatic life.
This has led the restoration of medicines, which allows any person re-medication is used to specific locations to achieve two goals: first, removal of drugs from water, and the second: to prevent the use of certain medications such as painkillers containing opium addiction or for the purposes of the law.
And represented the instructions issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the second step in the right direction, since it dealt hospitals and care homes not to throw the unused medicines in the public sewers or toilets. Guidelines have also been the general public for most of such drugs is used. However, the question arises now is whether these steps are sufficient to prevent the leakage of chemical compounds of pharmaceutical and personal products and prevent the rapid accumulation in the water.
Sources of pollution pharmacist
* Despite the difficulty of reliable revenue numbers, it can be assumed that we are as a sound assumption of consumers we are responsible for a large percentage of pharmaceutical substances and preparations that leaks about personal water lakes and rivers and streams.
* American homes contain a lot of unused medicines that over time expired. It has been assumed drug recovery program in California in 2007 that half of those medicines and lotions are thrown. It may be that high a figure, but it means that a large proportion are still thrown in the water.
* Chemicals are also up to the water of the drugs we use, since our bodies absorb most of the parts of the medicines that we eat, and the rest of the parts is the word through the urine or stool (or through sweating), and thus it is up to the water

An increasing number of drugs that are produced in the form of ointments or creams or lotions, therefore, some materials that do not absorb a potential problem of contamination when washing the skin. Accounts have been developed, for example, that the use of testosterone cream for man to lead him to enter the amount of water equivalent to when he spoke bodies of 300 men.
* Health care institutions are another source of pollution sources, pharmacist, hospital and are less polluting than the role of care here because I have a pharmacy medicines can be returned to them, while aimed at the role of pharmaceutical care after the death of the patient or transfer them.
* Drug production companies play a role in some of the pollution pharmacist varying degrees, have been made to study the U.S. Geological Survey Water Pollution current close to the two laboratories for the production of drugs in the District of New York at rates exceeding 10 to 1000 times the rates of pollution in other parts of the United States.
* Agriculture is another source of contamination of the main Valmkhalafat of animals weighing up two trillion pounds (about 900 billion kg) of poultry and livestock are full of hormones and antibiotics given to animals to increase their growth and maintain their health, which is bound to reach some of these substances into the groundwater .
Pollution problem pharmacist
* Made a study of the U.S. Geological Survey in 1999 and 2000 the presence of significant quantities of a drug or several drugs in 80 per cent of water samples taken from the network of 139 tables in 30 U.S. states. It was shown that the list of medications included a combination of antibiotics, antidepressants, and drugs diluted blood viscosity, and medicines, heart disease (inhibitors of angiotensin-converting enzyme ACE inhibitors, blockers channels calcium calcium - channel blockers, «Degoksin» digoxin), hormones (such as estrogen and progesterone, Altestistiron ), and pain relievers. Studies have detected many articles of caffeine (which leak out, of course, other sources as well other than medicaments), and medicine «Cirbemazibaan» carbamazepine anti-cramps, drugs «Fberat» fibrates that improve the level of cholesterol, and certain chemicals aromatic (such as «Galaaksolajd» galaxolide and «Tonalajd» tonalide).
Provision is also a number of journalists polluted materials pharmacy in 24 areas of major cities, as reported scientists a valuable body of water services in southern Nevada in 2010 contamination of drinking water contained from 19 facility to filter the water the remains of antidepressants, antibiotics and drugs to treat neurological diseases and beta-blockers, medicines sedative. However, the concentration was low and below the level harmful to human health.
It is likely a cumulative effect of these quantities of contaminated no matter how small the human body, and possibly pregnant women and the disabled will be more affected by this effect.
Impact on aquatic
* Except for a lack of clarity about the effects of pharmaceuticals in water on human health, there is evidence that they affect the aquatic life, especially fish. Several studies have shown that estrogen and chemicals that behave as if they mimic the effects of female to male fish, could upset the ratio between male and female fish.
Includes sources of estrogen pills and hormone therapy drugs for women after menopause, in addition to the natural secretions of estrogen in women, which were uttered out of their bodies.
Was found hermaphrodite fish - which neighborhoods have the characteristics of male and female at the same time - in areas of severe pollution of some rivers, spotted with remnants of drugs known as anti-depressants are concentrated in brain tissue of fish in ponds close to some water treatment plants.
