Pharmaceutical residues in the environment

Pharmaceutical active substances are used in human and veterinary medicine in some significant quantities and can be detected in the environment. The study of the Federal Environment Agency describes the development of the consumption volumes of drug active substances and compares the values of 1997 and 2014. A total of 24 indication groups and their occurrences in various environmental compartments in Austria are dealt with. The results provide a detailed overview of the situation in Austria and serve as a basis for further investigations and possible measures to minimise stress.药物活性物质在人类医学与兽医学领域均有大量使用，且可在环境中被检出。联邦环境署（Federal Environment Agency）开展的此项研究梳理了药物活性物质的消费量变化趋势，并对比了1997年与2014年的相关数值。本研究共涵盖24个适应症组，并分析了这些物质在奥地利各类环境介质中的赋存状况。研究结果全面详述了奥地利当前的相关现状，可为后续调查以及制定旨在降低环境压力的可行措施提供依据。
