Source Insulins and analogues (CEDs000262)

Source ID	CEDs000262
Name	Insulins and analogues
Sector	Healthcare, pharmaceuticals & veterinary products
Description	Insulins and their analogues are peptide hormones used primarily for the management of diabetes mellitus. These synthetic proteins are produced through recombinant DNA technology and are crucial in regulating glucose levels in patients. However, their production and use can lead to environmental contamination, particularly if not disposed of properly. Residual insulin and its analogues may enter wastewater systems through improper disposal of syringes, vials, or expired medications. This can result in the presence of these compounds in effluents, potentially affecting aquatic ecosystems and contributing to the broader issue of pharmaceutical contaminants in the environment. Monitoring and proper management practices are essential to mitigate such contamination risks.
