N2 - The presence of pharmaceuticals in the environment is an issue that has taken on importance since the 1990s, when the first cases of harmful effects to organisms caused by exposure to these compounds present in the environment were demonstrated, and which currently continues emerging as an area whose knowledge increases day by day. Recent studies report that there is literature that in some way is related to the PiE since the 1950s; in this chapter, we will make a brief account of some of the important historical events that led to the term that encompasses this type of studies, ecopharmacovigilance, and how it began to develop knowledge about the life cycle of PiE.
