Abstract
This chapter aims to visualize in the first instance the approach that is handled in terms of the use and types of water in the pharmaceutical industry and the importance of quality control of the same in the field of the pharmaceutical industry, as well as the issue of how water for pharmaceutical use can become a pollutant specifically in water niches and how this can cause an impact on clinical, environmental, and food health. Other aspects that the authors comment on are some strategies to decrease the impact of water contamination for pharmaceutical use. In the group of contaminants, the chapter is focused on the presence of antibiotics being relevant in the global warming issue on antimicrobial resistance.
