When the first green wave appeared in the mid and late 1960s, it was considered a f- sible task to solve pollution problems. The visible problems were mostly limited to point sources, and a comprehensive "end of the pipe technology" (= environmental technology) was available.

Produktbeschreibung
When the first green wave appeared in the mid and late 1960s, it was considered a f- sible task to solve pollution problems. The visible problems were mostly limited to point sources, and a comprehensive "end of the pipe technology" (= environmental technology) was available. It was even seriously discussed in the US that what was called "zero d- charge" could be attained by 1985. It became clear in the early 1970s that zero discharge would be too expensive, and that we should also rely on the self purification ability of ecosystems. That called for the development of environmental and ecological models to assess the self purifi- tion capacity of ecosystems and to set up emission standards, considering the re- tionship between impacts and effects in the ecosystems. This idea is illustrated in Fig. 0.1. A model is used to relate an emission to its effect on the ecosystem and its components. The relationship is applied to select a good solution to environmental problems by application of environmental technology.
Autorenporträt
The study of pharmaceuticals in the environment is a relatively new area of research. This edition addresses the most important issues in the field for the near future. Following the resounding success of the first two editions, this new edition has been brought up-to-date and greatly extended. It includes the status of research on soil, paying particular attention to field studies in terrestrial and aquatic environments as well as new substance categories such as tetracylines and chinolones and the latest results concerning contamination of the environment and risk reduction. In line with the newest developments worldwide there are now many more contributions from international authors. This volume also caters for the new requirements confronting European and American researchers since publication of the first edition. This book provides the reader with a well-founded overview which even specialists will appreciate.
Rezensionen
From the reviews of the third edition:

"This book gives a very good short, readable and impressive overview of the role and the fate of pharmaceuticals in the environment which was in the past totally neglected. It highlights the knowledge and the lack of knowledge of the today's fast growing research area. The book should be a standard-lecture not only for ecologists, chemists and pharmacists ... . Everybody whose work/interests stay in contact with the research ... or the application of drugs can find some suitable information in this book." (Moritz Schübler, Clean, Vol. 37 (7), 2009)
Aus den Rezensionen zur 3. Auflage: "... Dass es sich hierbei aber um eine äußerst spannende, vielschichtige und für den Apotheker als Arzneimittelexperten auch hochrelevante Thematik handelt, macht das vorliegende Buch deutlich. Die ersten Kapitel des von international renommierten Experten verfassten Werks widmen sich kurz und prägnant einigen grundlegenden Aspekten des Themengebiets, so etwa dem Metabolismus und Bioabbau von Arzneistoffen ... sowie verschiedenen Quellen des Medikamenteneintrags in Ökosysteme. ... einen sehr nützlichen und breiten Überblick über den Themenbereich sowie aktuelle Ansätze zum Umgang mit der Problematik." (Werner Christian Neubauer, in: Krankenhauspharmazie, 2009, Issue 8, S. 409)
