MistraPharma works to identify human pharmaceuticals that are likely to be of concern to aquatic ecosystems and address the risk for antibiotic resistance promotion in the environment.MistraPharma will also propose risk management strategies, in particular improved regulatory test requirements and wastewater treatment technologies. MistraPharma is funded by the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Environmental Research (Mistra). The research programme started in 2008 and will end in 2015.

Så kan Sverige gynna miljön och öppna för ny teknikexport
Charlotte Unger, Bengt Mattson och Anders Finnsson skriver på Newsmill "Nu vill vi gå vidare med pilotprojekt vid något eller några strategiskt utvalda reningsverk där ny teknik ska utvecklas och testa. I kombination med systematisk uppföljning av resultaten skulle sådana pilotprojekt kunna ges oss innovativa tekniska lösningar, ökad kunskap och samtidigt stora möjligheter för en framtida svensk miljöteknikexport. Här behöver regeringen gå ut med ett gemensam satsning på miljöteknikbidrag. Det skulle främja den svenska vattenmiljön, den svenska miljöteknikutvecklingen och lägga grunden för en svensk miljöteknikexport."
