EWS supported the development of a chain approach to combat diffuse pollution in water by medicine residuals. In addition we support activities developed in the frame of the yearly water week. |

In cooperation with Regional Water Board 'Drents Overijsselse Delta' the area of the water board was screened on the effectiveness of medicines collection by municipalities and pharmacists. After the program finished, it was possible for all residents to dispose of overcomplete medicines at the local pharmacist, who takes care of proper disposal in cooperation with municipality and waste management companies. |
