This is a short review on the increasing problem of pharmaceutical pollution in surface waters. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are medicines that are widely used to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and reduce a high body temperature. The paper presents a literature review on the content of NASIDs in surface waters. Due to the continuous growth of the world's population and the increasing use of pharmaceuticals, the threat to aquatic ecosystems is increasing. Every day, huge loads of pollution are discharged into rivers and seas. Depending on used technology the effectiveness of wastewater treatment varies considerably. The level of removal efficiency by wastewater treatments depends on physicochemical properties of the individual pharmaceutics and on the type of wastewater treatment technology. Therefore, it is recommended to conduct research on removal efficiency of main drug residues in Polish wastewater treatment plants and, if necessary, apply the best available technologies in this area.
