Prioritization methodology for the monitoring of active pharmaceutical ingredients in hospital effluents.
The important number of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) available on the market along with their potential adverse effects in the aquatic ecosystems, lead to the development of prioritization methods, which allow choosing priority molecules to monitor based on a set of selected criteria. Due to the large volumes of API used in hospitals, an increasing attention has been recently paid to their effluents as a source of environmental pollution. Based on the consumption data of a Swiss university hospital, about hundred of API has been prioritized following an OPBT approach (Occurrence, Persistence, Bioaccumulation and Toxicity). In addition, an Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA) allowed prioritizing API based on predicted concentrations and environmental toxicity data found in the literature"'CSI' is synonymous with CBS, and we are so proud of the series' creative and commercial legacy, and its continued success on our network," Nina Tassler, president of CBS Entertainment, said in a statement.
