Summary "Surface water sampling programs across the globe have shown the presence of many different classes of medicines. The potential risks associated with the release of these medicines into the environment have become an increasingly important issue for environmental regulators. Veterinary Medicines in the Environment examines the current state of the science of evaluating the potential risks of veterinary medicines to aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems." "The book brings together more than 30 experts from 8 countries with expertise in risk assessment, environmental toxicology and chemistry, and environmental policy and regulation. These experts provide guidance, based on standard risk assessment approaches, on how to assess the environmental effects of veterinary medicines. It also presents an examination of the current state of the science and integrated content in a single source. The book provides detailed coverage of technical approaches that helps practitioners better understand the environmental risks of veterinary medicines."--BOOK JACKET
