Abstract
The discharge of raw, contaminated, and inadequately treated pharmaceutical wastewater into water supplies and river channels contribute to short, medium, and long- term environmental and human health impacts. The deterioration and depletion of natural resources exemplified in recipient surface water systems, entirely account for the poor quality of pharmaceutical wastewater effluent. Consequently, to ensure the safety of communities from polluted environments, this review outlines the different anticipated exposure routes to the environment, situates the impact and fate of some pharmaceutical wastes on the aquatic environment. We highlighted some of the current measures for detecting pharmaceutical effluents and the future trends in the treatment of pharmaceutical effluents.
