Abstract

In the European Union, a revised version of the “Guideline on Environmental Risk Assessment of Medicinal Products for Human Use” (EMEA/CHMP/SWP/4447/00) came into effect in September, 2024. This review explains the revised contents of the Guideline, summarizes points to note when conducting an environmental risk assessment, and proposes a useful project model for the pharmaceutical industry.
