Pharmaceutical residues in the Baltic Sea are causing concern as the full impact for the marine environment is still unknown. Human and livestock excretion of drugs and metabolites following consumption, as well as disposal of unused pharmaceuticals, are pathways to the environment. Many pharmaceutical substances cannot be effectively removed by conventional waste water treatment. Innovative ideas and smart solutions on how to prevent pharmaceutical substances to reach the Baltic environment and cause negative effects are needed.

The Policy Area ‘Hazards’ in the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region in partnership with Helcom and Baltic Development Forum, BDF have the pleasure to cordially invite you to the conference and project development workshop ‘Pharmaceuticals in the Baltic Sea environment’.

In this conference we bring together stakeholders for implementation with policy makers and funding instruments.

The aim is to stimulate to good quality project ideas that can be developed and implemented in the Baltic Region within the coming years.
