Pharmaceutical products and their wastes play a major role in the degradation of environment. These drugs have positive as well as negative consequences on different environmental components including biota in different ways. Many types of pharmaceutical substances have been detected with significant concentrations through various advanced instrumental techniques in surface water, subsurface water, ground water, domestic waste water, municipal waste water and industrial effluents. The central as well as state governments in India are providing supports by creating excise duty free zones to promote the pharmaceutical manufacturers for their production. As a result, pharmaceutical companies are producing different types of pharmaceutical products at large scale and also producing complex non-biodegradable toxic wastes byproducts and releasing untreated or partially treated wastes in the environment in absence of strong regulations. These waste pollutants are contaminating all types of drinking water sources. The present paper focuses on water quality pollution by pharmaceutical pollutants, their occurrences, nature, metabolites and their fate in the environment.
药品及其废弃物在环境退化中起着重要作用。这些药物以不同方式对包括生物群在内的不同环境成分产生积极和消极的影响。通过各种先进的仪器技术，在地表水、地下水、生活污水、城市污水和工业废水中检测到了许多种类且浓度显著的药物物质。印度中央政府和邦政府通过设立免税区来支持制药企业生产，从而促进了制药商的生产。结果，制药公司大规模生产各类药品，同时也产生复杂的不可生物降解的有毒废物副产品，并且在缺乏严格监管的情况下，将未经处理或部分处理的废物排放到环境中。这些废物污染物正在污染各类饮用水源。本文重点关注药物污染物对水质的污染、它们的存在情况、性质、代谢产物及其在环境中的归宿。
