Environmental sustainability increasingly demands approaches that integrate human-scale perspectives, considering both ecological balance and public health. This article examines the integration of therapeutic targets within the scope of wastewater treatment, highlighting their relevance to both environmental and human health. The study reviews current literature on sustainable wastewater treatment practices, therapeutic target removal, and the importance of human-scale approaches in environmental design. A mixed-method research methodology is employed to evaluate the effectiveness of therapeutic target removal in wastewater treatment facilities and the implications for broader environmental sustainability. The results demonstrate that considering therapeutic targets in wastewater treatment not only improves public health outcomes but also aligns with broader sustainability goals. The article concludes by advocating for a human-scale approach to environmental sustainability that bridges the gap between ecological and public health imperatives. This study explores the integration of human-scale principles into environmental sustainability by identifying therapeutic targets within wastewater treatment processes. By focusing on the human scale, the research emphasizes the importance of aligning environmental strategies with human health and well- being. The study investigates how therapeutic targets can be incorporated into wastewater treatment to enhance both environmental and public health outcomes. This approach seeks to create a more holistic and sustainable model for managing wastewater, ensuring that environmental efforts also contribute to the overall health and quality of life of communities.
