“…Furthermore, in the last few years, antibiotics, anti-depressants, and anti-hypertensive drugs have been extensively used around the world due to the high prevalence rate of antiviral diseases [ 5 ]. Our body uses only 20–30% of the drug; the rest is excreted through urine and contaminates the environment [ 6 ]. Recently, it has been reported that the Cauvery River and its tributaries in India were contaminated with anti-hypertensives, anti-inflammatory, antibiotics, stimulants, and antidepressant drugs [ 7 , 8 ].…”

The presence of pharmaceutical compounds in wastewater due to an increase in industrialization and urbanization is a serious health concern. The demand for diverse types of pharmaceutical compounds is expected to grow as there is continuous improvement in the global human health standards. Discharge of domestic pharmaceutical personal care products and hospital waste has aggravated the burden on wastewater management. Further, the pharmaceutical water is toxic not only to the aquatic organism but also to terrestrial animals coming in contact directly or indirectly. The pharmaceutical wastes can be removed by adsorption and/or degradation approach. Nanoparticles (NPs), such as 2D layers materials, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and carbonaceous nanomaterials are proven to be more efficient for adsorption and/or degradation of pharmaceutical waste. In addition, inclusion of NPs to form various composites leads to improvement in the waste treatment efficacy to a greater extent. Overall, carbonaceous nanocomposites have advantage in the form of being produced from renewable resources and the nanocomposite material is biodegradable either completely or to a great extent. A comprehensive literature survey on the recent advancement of pharmaceutical wastewater is the focus of the present article.
