A study of The impact of Antibiotic Pollution and The types of Environmental Pollution It causes
Abstract: Antibiotics are essential biological drugs for human health and are the cornerstone of treating infections caused by various bacteria and viruses. However, they also pose a significant risk if misused, as each antibiotic is designed for a specific type of bacteria. Sometimes, due to the evolution of bacteria, many antibiotics have become ineffective and resistant to contamination and infection. Therefore, they can have the opposite effect, polluting the environment instead …
