  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: The Handbook of Environmental Chemistry ((HEC,volume 96))

Abstract

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) belong to most used pharmaceuticals in human and veterinary medicine, the emerge of drugs in the environment is a concern subject. The contamination is due to the consumption and the excretion of large quantities of pharmaceuticals via urine and feces in wastewaters. In this chapter, the reader will have an overview of the use of different types of membranes and their combined method in the removal of NSAIDs and demonstration that the use of membrane could be an environment-friendly methodology that enhances its efficiency in the removal of these compounds.
