In 2007, researchers at University of Gothenburg, Sweden published the first in a series of studies showing massive pollution with antibiotics from pharmaceutical factories in India.

University of GothenburgSep 27 2024 In connection with the ongoing UN General Assembly in New York, a declaration was approved that underlines the risks and calls for measures to reduce pollution.

Two of the items in the UN-declaration, 76 and 91, specifically address the industrial discharges. Here, the research from the University of Gothenburg has played a critical role. Resistant bacteria thrive and develop in these environments in an exceptional way. When bacteria become resistant it means that our antibiotics become ineffective. High emissions of pharmaceuticals from manufacturing have later been demonstrated across the world, says Joakim Larsson.

Lack of regulation It may come a surprise to many, but discharges of antibiotics are almost never regulated specifically, neither in Europe nor elsewhere. The Indian government proposed a law in 2020, based on discharges limits a former PhD student and I developed. But lobbying from Indian industry stalled the process, Joakim Larsson explains.
