Pharmaceutical Manufacturing and Packing Sourcer
|
Emissions control has long been an important management issue for pharmaceutical manufacturers in Europe and beyond, but emerging legislation implemented throughout EU member states is forcing the industry to take a closer look at abatement technologies in search of solutions which will ensure compliance not just now, but in the future too.
Legislation puts Focus on Solvent Recovery
The manufacture of pharmaceutical products is reliant on a number of organic solvents, producing emissions in a number of process areas - from reactor vents to storage tanks and vacuum pumps. Dichloromethane, methanol, ethyl acetate, acetone, toluene, xylene, triethylamine, tetrahydrofurane, butyl acetate and isopropanol are among the VOCs regularly used by pharmaceutical manufacturers and legislation is limiting these emissions year on year. Industrial emissions to the atmosphere first became a focus of environmental regulation with the introduction of the Clean Air Act in 1993. Since then increasing concern about the effect of air pollutants on the environment has led to the development of the UK's National Air Quality Strategy, setting targets which are to be achieved by 2005.

Translating Cancer Genomics Into A Personalised Approach For Cancer Patients
PRA Health Sciences (PRA)
Over the past few decades, the approach to prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer has radically shifted from organ-based to morphology-based and most recently, to genetics-based. Personalized or precision medicine (tailoring a treatment for a patient’s particular disease at a precise time point) is being performed every day at different levels in the clinical setting.
