Pharmaceutical products are being increasingly discovered, in the environment. However, traditional treating systems do not provide an adequate remedy, for pharmaceutical drug elimination and still there is not a regulated criterion for their limitation in water. Adsorption is one of the most efficient and practical techniques to remove pollutants from water. ZnO to be used as adsorbent being abundant and cheap has removal capabilities for certain pollutants from water such as drug,drug, metal ions, phenol, and different anions. In this paper the potential of ZnO for removal of vitamin B6 has been discussed. Different parameters like, initial drug concentration (5-80 mg/L), temperature (15, 25, and 50 ºC), adsorbent dosage (0.001-0.15gm), were investigated. The adsorption of drug was best at neutral pH. The adsorption uptake decrease with increase in initial drug concentration, but increase with the amount of adsorbent and temperature. The equilibrium was evaluated using Langmuir, Freundlich isotherms. The maximum capacity of adsorption obtained from the Freundlichmodel was 108.556mg/g.

Three major areas are emphasized for a study of drug excretion in breast milk: maternal drug disposition, breast milk pharmacokinetics and neonatal drug elimination. The first two impact on drug dose to infant whereas the last area is crucial to drug accumulation in the infant. Pitfalls in assessment of the drug concentration in milk to plasma (M/P) ratio are illustrated to expose errors in drug dose in milk estimates. Predictions about drug dose in milk must be confirmed by sampling of both milk and infant plasma for drug concentration. Principles for drug excretion in breast milk can be used as guidelines for excretion of a growing number of toxic agents.
