Evidence is now widespread that pharmaceutical pollution is a major global problem. Around the world pharma companies have been polluting the environment for decades now, with the result that even drinking water supplies have become contaminated with measurable amounts of dangerous chemical drugs. Rarely admitted by public health authorities, the fact is that water treatment plants were never designed to deal with the presence of toxic pharmaceutical compounds.
Clearly, therefore, not only is the pharmaceutical ‘business with disease’ economically unsustainable, it isn’t environmentally sustainable either. This illustrates yet another reason why we need to replace drug-based disease-care medicine with a truly preventive system of healthcare that utilizes safe, non-toxic, science-based natural health approaches. Pharmaceutical pollution is rapidly becoming an environmental health hazard and should urgently be addressed by national, regional, and global health authorities alike.

The healthcare sector contributes 4.4 percent of the global total net emissions. This is equivalent to two gigatons of carbon dioxide, the annual greenhouse gas emissions from 514 coal-fired power plants. If the healthcare sector were a country, it would be the fifth-largest emitter in the world.
