  2. 6. Pharmaecological perspectives : Exposure studies using coastal Baltic Sea organisms

    Author : Hanna Oskarsson; Linda Kumblad; Ann-Kristin Eriksson Wiklund; Johan Eklöf; Nina Cedergreen; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Pharmaceuticals; Baltic Sea; Mytilus edulis trossulus; Fucus vesiculosus; Ceramium tenuicorne; Gammarus spp.; Direct effects; Inter-specific interactions; marin ekotoxikologi; Marine Ecotoxicology;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the effects of pharmaceutical substances on coastal Baltic Sea organisms. Despite an increasing awareness of the occurrence of pharmaceuticals in various aquatic compartments, current knowledge of their possible effects on non-target organisms is limited.

  4. 7. Parallel Trade, Reference Pricing and Competition in the Pharmaceutical Market: Theory and Evidence

    Author : Miyase Yesim Köksal-Ayhan; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; parallel trade; pharmaceuticals; price competition; reference pricing; therapeutic competition; moral hazard; EU enlargement.;

    Abstract : Paper I. Reference Pricing: Making Parallel Trade in Pharmaceuticals Work This paper shows that parallel trade makes pharmaceutical manufacturers reduce their prices in the home (importing) country more when it is combined with the healthcare reimbursement policy of reference pricing, requiring consumers to pay the full extra cost if they don’t buy cheaper parallel imported drugs.

  5. 8. Ozonation in Advanced Wastewater Treatment : Practical Aspects and Development of a Prediction Tool for Pharmaceutical Removal

    Author : Rubén Juárez; Avdelningen för kemiteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ozonation; wastewater; suspended solids; pharmaceuticals; bromate;

    Abstract : Pharmaceuticals that are not completely metabolized in the human body are excreted in wastewater and may find their way into surface waters, where they can have harmful effects on aquatic fauna and flora. The implementation of ozonation at wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) can reduce the amount of pharmaceuticals discharged to the environment. READ MORE
