Yermakovych I. Increasing of ecological safety of water bodies by the prevention of contamination of pharmaceutical substances

The object of research - water pollution by pharmaceutical substances come from municipal wastewater. Objective: the reduction of anthropogenic impact on water bodies by the performing of electrochemical destruction of pharmaceutical substances in wastewater. Methods of the research: method of electrochemical destruction of the resistant to biodegradation pharmaceuticals, physical and chemical methods of analysis, methods of liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection, liquid chromatography mass spectrometry, methods of mathematical modeling of the processes of surface water quality formation. Theoretical and practical results: developed method of electrochemical destruction of resistant to biodegradation pharmaceutical substances contained in the sewage of hospitals; designed a laboratory facility for the disposal of infusion solutions containing biologically resistant pharmaceutical substances; developed the method for the prevention of water pollution by pharmaceutical substances. Novelty: for the first time investigated the process of electrochemical destruction of pharmaceutical substances and found the optimal mode parameters and conditions of the process until their full destruction; for the first time developed the technique of forecasting assessment of pollution of water bodies by pharmaceutical substances on the example of river Lopan, Kharkiv; for the first time theoretically substantiated and experimentally confirmed the suppression of pathogenic biotest culture of Escherichia coli of the modeling wastewater in carrying out the electrochemical destruction of pharmaceutical substances; got further developed the research of ecological safety of the water body by the prevention of pharmaceutical substances contamination during the local sewage treatment of hospitals. Degree of implementation: results of the research implemented in the pharmacy of network LLC "Pharmastore", Department of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Kharkiv regional state administration in the development of the "Integrated Programme for Environmental Protection in Kharkiv region in 2009-2013 and till 2020", as well as used at the department of chemical engineering and industrial ecology of National Technical University "Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute" in the preparation of materials of the training module "Environmentally sustainable urban development" in the framework of the project TEMPUS PROJECT "CENEAST-Reformation of the Curricula on Built Environment in the Eastern Neighboring Area" n. 530603 - TEMPUS-1-2012-1-LT-TEMPUS-JPCR (2012-3071 / 001-001). Field of using: the results of research can be used in the networks of pharmacies, hospitals, medical institutions, enterprises of the pharmaceutical industry.
