Question raised in Rajya Sabha on Effluent treatment norms for pharmaceutical companies, 09/12/2019. The environmental standards for Pharmaceutical Industry were last issued in 2009. There are increasing concerns on water pollution and thus a need for improving upon the quality of effluents. An Expert Committee, constituted by Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), has examined the standards for antibiotic residue (Anti-Microbial Resistance-AMR) in the effluents from such industries for suitable revision of the existing standards.
