"A Threat to Our Water: Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products" will
introduce the issue of how the use, and improper disposal, of
medications and personal care products by the public is presenting a
serious threat to the quality and safety of public water supplies across
the country. Featuring speakers and scientists from The Lake Erie-
Allegheny (LEA) Earth Force, LECOM School of Pharmacy and Penn State
Erie Behrend College, this online session will examine the serious
issues facing this newly recognized threat to watersheds, reservoirs and
groundwater supplies. An introduction and overview of the problems
associated with the use and disposal of pharmaceuticals will be
presented, and a discussion of measures that can be taken to reduce
their impact on water resources. This topic is receiving widespread
attention, and this webcast will help to bring you up to date on the
latest research and related guidelines and standards.
