A new information graphic from me, on the effects of our ageing population on the number of pharmaceutical products that will be prescribed, if population projections are to be believed. This is particularly relevant as these products often pass through us and end up in water supplies - which we then take in again through eating and drinking, perhaps having unintended consequences.
The graphic would not have been possible without input from:
Dr Michael Depledge Professor of Environment and Human Health at Peninsula Medical school, in Cornwall and Devon, UK.
Ruth Willis who produced reports for the UK's Royal Commission for Environmental Pollution.
Dr Clare Redshaw Lecturer in Environmental Toxicology, European Centre for Environment and Human Health.
