Drug factory waste dumped to local waters
lundi 19 septembre 2016 à 02:00Drug factories release their wastes, including antibiotics, into local waters — promoting drug resistance.
The simplest way to end this is to impose a rising tax on antibiotics made in factories that have not certified acceptable waste handling. The tax would start small, but it would be twice as much in the second year, three times as much in the third year, and so on. Manufacturers would make sure to correct their problem within a few years.
