Abstract
Extensive use of pharmaceutical drugs and its disposal in soil and water reservoirs leads to serious environmental pollution. These pharmaceutical micropollutants are highly water soluble, low biodegradable and easily accumulated in the food chain. Thus, these micropollutants persist in the environment and may cause a serious threat to ecosystem. This review highlights the sources of pharmaceutical micropollutants and adverse effects on ecosystem. The pharmaceutical drugs like such as anti-convulsive drugs, antidepressants and cytostatic drugs are more ecotoxic, hence need to remove them from contaminated environments. Further, review also insights the importance of microbial degradation in management of pharmaceutical pollutions
