Welcome to the Pharma Pollution Hub
The problem
Medicines like aspirin, anti-depressants and blood pressure drugs, are being used more and more by people. But more medicines for us means more medicines ending up in our rivers and seas, creating a harmful cocktail for fish, wildlife and humans.
Finding solutions
The Pharma Pollution Hub is dedicated to finding solutions through a systems thinking, collaborative approach. We bring together organisations from across society and support them to collectively drive change.
Our three aims:
Define the problem
Mobilise the research community to accelerate change
Collectively identify pragmatic solutions
Our scope
Our work is currently focused on pharmaceuticals used in human healthcare. We consider the entire healthcare pharmaceutical life cycle, and our work spans a huge remit, so we have created five interlinked working groups.
