Pharmaceutical pollution in Ukraine

Abstract

As the population of our planet continues to grow, so does the need for adequate medical supplies, including chemical-based medicines and care products. Their significant therapeutic effect does not go unnoticed in our lives, similar to the consequences of their use in the form of contamination of water systems and soils do not go unnoticed. Medical waste makes up only 3-5% of the total amount of waste, but it is generally considered the most dangerous. They may contain dangerous infectious bacteria that can cause entire epidemics in the population.
