STUDY CONCLUSIONS
-
This ongoing investigation verified that the monitoring and quantification of PhACs are mostly performed in São Paulo state, with Antibiotics being the most monitored compounds. Among the selected harmaceuticals, Amoxicilin and Azythromicin present the highest sell quantity and due to the value of the Ef of Amoxicilin (60%), this produces the higher concentration to be treated.
-
For future research the relationships of the PhACs will be deeply investigated, in order to better evaluate the variations of sales considering the evolution of prescription collection.
-
The initial findings will be compared with previous predictive models for pharmaceuticals concentrations based on sales data.
