This work provides an overview of the problems associated with the use of antibiotics in different areas (medicine, agriculture) for therapeutic and prophylactic purposes, as well as the risks that may arise for the environment when antimicrobial drugs enter the environment. The most dangerous problem is the resistance of pathogens to antibiotics, which can cause other social problems - an increase in morbidity, mortality, and economic decline. At the moment, not only in Russia, but also in the world, it is the ecological direction of the study of drugs, in particular antibiotics, their way of entering the environment and danger, is developing insufficiently and this is due to a number of methodological difficulties. The risks to wildlife and humans that may arise from residues of various drugs, their effects separately and together are not fully understood. Control of antibiotics in environmental objects will reduce the load of drugs entering through wastewater, develop additional measures for water purification at enterprises where antimicrobial agents are actively used, and also identify "hot spots" in the regions.
