About

Pharmaceutical medicines play a critical role in human and animal health. However, in recent years, there is growing evidence that active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are accumulating in rivers, lakes, and drinking water worldwide and impacting aquatic ecosystems. As a result, pharmaceuticals in the environment (PiE) has emerged as a global health risk according to the UN, WHO, European Commission, and World Economic Forum. Source

Collective Research


The scope for this project (topic and sector) was suggested by Wikirate's community.

Data Discovery is a monthly session where the Wikirate community gathers new ideas for four research sprints. 

The result is a new data insight released weekly to show how companies are impacting people and the planet.

Everyone is welcome to bring ideas of topics and companies to research. Together we’ll:

  • Gain perspective on the community's research interests
  • Be inspired by last month's results in a series of infographics
  • Pick ideas for companies and topics to research in the next month

This crowd-research project will remain active on the Wikirate platform. Do you want to help us with this or another project? You can sign up as a volunteer researcher or join our next meeting. Do not hesitate to contact us!
