Daunomycin is an anticancer drug, which is widely applied in cancer therapy. The administration of the drug is prescribed through the intravenous route. If the drug is administered through other routes, it can cause serious side effects. A high dose of the drug may cause problems for patients. Thus, to avoid any related side effects and postdrug effects, its toxicology study is highly necessary. The improper disposal of hospital industry waste also has a direct impact on the environment. Daunomycin metabolite daunorubicinol is considered carcinogenic in nature and may cause problems in aquatic to human life if not disposed of properly. Therefore, the study of toxicity of the drug, risk assessment, and management is extremely crucial to avoid the toxicity and environmental effects. In this chapter, we have discussed the general background of the daunomycin drug, its role in the environment, administration of the drugs, related side effects, and ongoing research. © 2025 Elsevier Inc.
