Medicines are pharmaceutical substances used to treat, prevent, or relieve symptoms of different diseases in animals and humans. However, their large-scale production use worldwide cause release the environment. Pharmaceutical molecules currently considered emerging pollutants that enter water bodies due inadequate management, affecting quality generating adverse effects on aquatic organisms. Hence, alternatives for pharmaceuticals removal from have been sought; among them, agro-industrial wastes has proposed, mainly because its high availability low cost. This review highlights ecotoxicological related presence environments analyzes 94 investigations, 2012 2024, 17 antibiotics, highlighting sulfamethoxazole as most reported, well 6 non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such diclofenac ibuprofen, 27 with pharmacological activities. The these was evaluated using wheat straw, mung bean husk, bagasse, bamboo, olive stones, rice pinewood, others. On average, 60% were transformed into biochar be a biosorbents removal. diversity experimental conditions studies makes it difficult stablish which waste greatest capacity; therefore, this review, drug mass rate (DMRR) calculated, parameter comparative purposes. Almond shell-activated showed highest antibiotics (1940 mg/g·h), while cork powder (CP) (10,420 mg/g·h) NSAIDs. Therefore, scientific evidence demonstrates is promising alternative substances.
