Pharmaceutical pollutants, including antibiotics, analgesics, hormones and other drugs, have emerged as significant environmental contaminants. These compounds can enter water bodies through various pathways such as pharmaceutical manufacturing, hospital waste and improper disposal of medications. Conventional water treatment methods often fall short of completely removing these pollutants, leading to their accumulation in the environment and posing risks to human health and aquatic ecosystems.
