Abstract

Karl Weston

The ubiquity of pharmaceutical compounds in the environment has emerged as a pressing concern in recent years, shedding light on the intricate interplay between human activities, water bodies, and the delicate balance of aquatic ecosystems. The field of ecotoxicology has been tasked with unraveling the far-reaching consequences of these substances, specifically human pharmaceuticals, on the intricate web of life that exists within our waters.
