“…It has been reported that about 1.5 billion people are daily users of β‐blockers, and at least 20% of the administered dose is released in urine 1,122 . As such, β‐blockers (e.g., atenolol, valsartan, metoprolol, propranolol) have been frequently detected in domestic effluents and drinking water at 1–5242 ng L −1 , due to their large consumption and discharge rates and incomplete elimination in sewage treatment facilities 123,124 …”

Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are those substances used for medical care, cosmetics, hygiene and health care purposes. Due to their globally high production and consumption rates and rapid discharge into the environment without control, they are of considerable public concern. Many of them, particularly antibiotics, analgesics, endocrine disruptors and microbial/disinfecting substances are frequently detected in wastewater treatment effluents, fresh water systems and groundwater in concentrations ranging from ng L−1 to mg L−1. Moreover, most of them are persistent and tend to bioaccumulate in cell tissue, being transported subsequently to vegetables, crops and drinking water sources. As such, a large group of PPCPs are recognized with their potential to impair the ecosystem and/or to induce health risks, so that they have been classified under “emerging contaminants.” The present study is a comprehensive review of the literature on the occurrence, fate and potential environmental and health risks of PPCPs in the aquatic and terrestrial environments. It also encompasses the reported cases of human health disorders or risks, although the data so far is inadequate for presenting a complete assessment. Finally, the study covers a short review of the most promising advanced technologies for their partial or ultimate elimination from wastewater treatment effluents and water.

The present report deliberates the safe handling of prescription containing the narcotic substances and habit forming drugs. This work is confined to the boundaries of Karad and Umbraj city of satara belonging to Indian state of Maharashtra. Here, we attempted to comprehend the proper handling of prescription containing the narcotic substances and habit forming drugs. For the purpose we met with the various retail pharmacist who discussed about proper handling, dispensing and record maintenance of prescription containing narcotics and habit forming substances. Indeed, the information provided by them is crucial and speculates about a pharmacist perspective while handling prescription encompassing narcotics.
