Crustaceans and molluscs to study the effects of pharmaceutical water pollution on the ocean

This research is being conducted by researchers from the Andalusian Centre for Marine Science and Technology and has been financially supported by the Andalusian Government and the European Union. Drugs get to marine environments through waste water because the human body excretes drug particles which can’t be cleared in water treatment plants. The effects of these substances on the environment are still unknown. These researchers are studying them analysing the tissue of species such as sea urchins, Manila clams and green crabs which are used as bioindicators to measure the quality of water. In addition, they advise the use of microalgae in water treatment to eliminate pharmaceutical waste.
