What can consumers, medical staff, researchers, members of water boards and politicians do to reduce the input of pharmaceutical residues at the source? This short film illustrates how all involved stakeholders can contribute jointly to solutions.
The short film was produced within the project "Den Spurenstoffen auf der Spur (DSADS)" which is part of the EU funded co-operation project "No Pills in Waters". The short film builds upon the video "The Drugs We Wash Away: Pharmaceuticals, Drinking Water and the Environment" that was created by the Ecologic Institute within the project "Ecological and Human Health Risk Assessments of Drugs in the Environment (PHARMAS)".
