Based on the knowledge generated in studies carried out by researchers from the Pel\u00e9 Pequeno Pr\u00edncipe Research Institute, the Pequeno Pr\u00edncipe Complex signed in July a partnership with the Paran\u00e1 Sanitation Company (Sanepar) to seek solutions that contribute to reducing or even eliminating antibiotics and the so-called superbugs present in hospital effluents (sewage). The initiative is unprecedented in the country, and the expectation is that the results obtained from the Paran\u00e1 experience will serve as a reference and encourage other similar actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem arises because part of the effluents generated in hospitals is made up of secretions from hospitalized patients who receive a large concentration of medications, which are eliminated by the body through urine and feces. \u201cSome medicines pass through the human body almost unchanged. Eliminated by the sewage, most of them go straight to the treatment plant, where there is no capacity to remove these micropollutants through the conventional filtration system,\u201d explains the research coordinator, pharmacist and biochemist L\u00edbera Maria Dalla Costa, from the Pel\u00e9 Pequeno Pr\u00edncipe Research Institute. Today, in Brazil, there is no specific regulation for the treatment of these effluents.<\/p>\n\n\n

The partnership signed between Pequeno Pr\u00edncipe and Sanepar aims to present a treatment solution that improves the quality of such waste, combating antimicrobial resistance, which is a global public health problem. The United Nations (UN) has already issued warnings regarding the unsuspecting exposure of people to water contaminated with antibiotics, capable of multiplying pathogens. The proposal envisages the use of prototypes for treating and testing waste and should achieve results in the next two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn Brazil, few institutions research effluents. Mainly looking for solutions such as the development and testing of filter elements that can retain micropollutants, a category of antibiotics. We are confident in the results, which will generate scientific knowledge that will be available to other sanitation companies in the country,\u201d highlights the corporate director of Pequeno Pr\u00edncipe Complex, Jos\u00e9 \u00c1lvaro da Silva Carneiro.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
