The Potential Role of Ecotoxicological Data in National Essential Medicine Lists: A Cross-Sectional Analysis
This study underscores the limited availability of ecotoxicological data, which hinders environmental risk assessment for medicines. EMLs could serve as a tool to enhance the awareness and data mobilization of pharmaceutical pollution. Incorporating environmental criteria into EMLs could support more sustainable medicine selection and regulatory practices.
