“…48,49 In Patancheru industrial area, Medak (India), the concentrations of TDS, BOD, COD, copper, arsenic, selenium, fluoride and iron were recorded 5 to 10 times higher than maximum permissible limit 50,51 in waste water of inlet and outlet of a septic tank in pharmaceutical industrial area of Bangalore in India. However, several researches have focused on physicochemical characteristics and heavy metals analysis of pharmaceutical effluents in various parts of India and are summarized in Tables 4 48,52-54 and 5. 49,52,55,56…”

Pharmaceutical products and their wastes play a major role in the degradation of environment. These drugs have positive as well as negative consequences on different environmental components including biota in different ways. Many types of pharmaceutical substances have been detected with significant concentrations through various advanced instrumental techniques in surface water, subsurface water, ground water, domestic waste water, municipal waste water and industrial effluents. The central as well as state governments in India are providing supports by creating excise duty free zones to promote the pharmaceutical manufacturers for their production. As a result, pharmaceutical companies are producing different types of pharmaceutical products at large scale and also producing complex non-biodegradable toxic wastes byproducts and releasing untreated or partially treated wastes in the environment in absence of strong regulations. These waste pollutants are contaminating all types of drinking water sources. The present paper focuses on water quality pollution by pharmaceutical pollutants, their occurrences, nature, metabolites and their fate in the environment.

“…The nature of pollutant in effluent is in soluble and insoluble [15]. The waste water release into drainages and then move into water bodies making widespread pollution and frightening to the aquatic life and health of nearby human population [16]. The present study is undertaking with the objective to examine the presence of heavy metals: Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Ag and Pb in herbal pharmaceutical industry effluent and their possible impacts if any.…”

Environmental pollution particularly from heavy metals in effluent is the gravest problem in developing countries like Pakistan. Effluents of Herbal Pharmaceutical are waste water generated during Herbal Medicines manufacturing process. When these effluents deprived of appropriate treatment are released directly into the environment, results in potential adverse effects on human health and the environment. This research work examined the heavy metals parameters of effluents discharged by Herbal pharmaceutical industry in Karachi, Pakistan. In all, 08 parameters were studied. These include Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Ag and Pb. The study revealed that ranges of Ag and Fe were exceeding the allowable limit of WHO (World Health Organization) and NEQS (National Environmental Quality Standards). This calls for an immediate use of latest treatment plants to decrease the harmfulness that results from waste water.
