Analytical Methods for Contaminants of Emerging Concern

Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products (PPCPs) Methods Development

http://www.epa.gov/waterscience/methods/method/ppcp/

Since the first reports that Contaminants of Emerging Concern such as
pharmaceuticals were occurring in surface waters, a number of questions
have been raised regarding their presence in sewage influent, effluent
and sludge. At the time of these first reports, no suitable methods were
available for sewage influent, effluent and sludge. The Environmental
Protection Agency has developed two new state-of-the-art analytical
methods to identify and measure certain contaminants of emerging
concern, specifically; pharmaceuticals and, steroids and hormones in
sewage influent, effluent and sludge.
