Difference between Drug pollution and Water pollution

Drug pollution vs. Water pollution

Drug pollution or pharmaceutical pollution is pollution of the environment with pharmaceutical drugs and their metabolites, which reach the aquatic environment (groundwater, rivers, lakes, and oceans) through wastewater. Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies, usually as a result of human activities.

Similarities between Drug pollution and Water pollution

Drug pollution and Water pollution have 15 things in common (in Unionpedia): Antidepressant, Groundwater, Heavy metals, Infrastructure, Lake, Leachate, Medication, Metabolite, Pollution, River, Sanitary sewer overflow, Sewage treatment, Surface runoff, United States, Wastewater.

Antidepressant

Antidepressants are drugs used for the treatment of major depressive disorder and other conditions, including dysthymia, anxiety disorders, obsessive–compulsive disorder, eating disorders, chronic pain, neuropathic pain and, in some cases, dysmenorrhoea, snoring, migraine, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), addiction, dependence, and sleep disorders.
