Descripción
In recent years, interest of detection, treatment and environmental-impact assessment of pharmaceuticals in the aquatic media has increased. The origin, concentration and fate of these micropollutants are diverse and depend on many factors. However, it is unquestionable that the wastewater from private households, clinics and hospitals, generate an effluent with particular characteristics, especially by the presence of pharmaceutical active compounds (PhACs). An alternative to minimize the impact of these effluents could be on-site treatment, thereby avoiding dilution and interaction with other types of wastewater and pollutants. There are many methodological alternatives for environmental impact studies, being life cycle assessment (LCA) one of the most used.
