Description
Veterinary Pharmaceuticals in the Environment addresses the critical issue of pharmaceutical residues from animal agriculture contaminating natural ecosystems. This volume in the ACS Symposium Series provides an in-depth examination of how medications used in veterinary medicine enter and persist in environmental compartments including soil, groundwater, and surface water.
The book covers multiple aspects of this growing concern: the sources of veterinary pharmaceutical contamination, transport mechanisms through soil and water systems, detection and monitoring methods, and the ecological and human health implications of exposure. Contributors explore the fate and degradation of these compounds in various environmental matrices and discuss regulatory frameworks aimed at minimizing contamination.
Essential for environmental scientists, toxicologists, regulatory professionals, and pharmaceutical researchers, this work synthesizes current knowledge on how animal medications impact water quality, soil health, and non-target organisms. It provides evidence-based insights into managing veterinary pharmaceutical pollution in our increasingly interconnected environmental systems.
