Pharmaceutical Disposal (Summary)



In the article “Pharmaceutical Disposal”, Burch (2015) claims that the uncontrolled spread of pharmaceutical drugs found in waterways in the United States has become of worry. A source of contamination is from “flushing” unused drugs by individuals and “healthcare workers”. The writer adds that contaminants still remain present in processed water even though it has been treated at facilities. While humans have yet to be impacted by such disposal of drugs, aquatic creatures have experienced negative effects that affect their hormones and fertility. In a bid to salvage the situation, access to “safe and convenient” disposal must be readily available.

  1. Hi Cedric, here are some points which you might want to consider when editing the draft for your summary.

    -Direct quoting of article name should be "Pharmaceutical Disposal"
    -If you went to check the about section of the website, actually the "Iburch" is the shortened name of the author. His name is actually "Louis W. Burch".

    >>> "In the article "Pharmaceutical Disposal", Burch (2015) ......."
