Institute of Water webinar

Pharmaceutical pollution in water systems is an escalating concern, with significant implications for both environmental and public health.

During this interactive webinar, Navdip Kaur, Anna Palfrey and Dylan Powell will unpack how pharmaceuticals enter water sources, examine the resulting ecological and health impacts, and explore pioneering solutions for pollution prevention and remediation.

The key topics that will be covered are:

  • Pharmaceuticals in focus: An overview of pharmaceutical types, uses, and potential risks.
  • Sources of contamination: Pathways and practices contributing to pharmaceutical pollution in water systems.
  • Ecological and human impact: Insights into how pharmaceutical contaminants affect ecosystems, wildlife, and public health.
  • Innovative remediation and prevention: An in-depth look at current and emerging technologies for removal, alongside social engineering strategies aimed at reducing contamination at the source.

Join our teams as they explore collaborative approaches to reducing pharmaceutical pollution and protecting water resources.
