2005 RNRF CONGRESS ON EMERGING CONTAMINANTS

RNRF will convene a Congress on Assessing and Mitigating Environmental
Impacts of Emerging Contaminants, in Washington D.C., December 1-2, =
2005.
Specific issues to be examined include: 1) variety and magnitude of
challenges presented by emerging contaminants; 2) efficacy of the =
existing
regulatory framework; 3) research and monitoring needs; 4) impacts on =
human
and wildlife health, and impacts on ecosystems; and 5) public =
information and
education needs. Contaminant types to be featured include: pesticides =
and
metabolites/degradates (featuring synthetic pyrethroids), =
pharmaceuticals,
nanoparticles, and industrial chemicals (featuring brominated flame
retardants).=20

Recent studies by the U.S. Geological Survey have revealed the presence =
of
pesticides, pharmaceuticals and other chemicals in a significant number =
of
sampled streams and rivers. These contaminants, along with other =
emerging
threats, are suspected of having measurable impacts on human and =
wildlife
health-in some places male fish are producing eggs, amphibians are
experiencing high levels of birth defects, and fish advisories are being
issued.=20

The conference is being sponsored by the U.S. Geological Survey. =
Additional
support is being provided by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
