Alternative Strategies for Managing Pharmaceutical and Personal Care
Products in Water Resources 


Researchers have known for more than 40 years that pharmaceuticals and
personal care products (PPCPs), including their byproducts and a variety
of hormones and prescription drugs, can end up in our drinking water
system. A report co-authored by Dr. George William Sherk
<http://www.sandw.com/professionals-339.html> , of counsel to Sullivan &
Worcester's Water Resource Development Group, and Gabriel Eckstein
<http://law.txwes.edu/Faculty/FacultyProfiles/GabrielEckstein/tabid/1459
/Default.aspx> , a professor of law at Texas Wesleyan University School
of Law, responds to the question of what can be done to address this
situation.

Join us on October 6 for a lively discussion of their report,
"Alternative Strategies for Managing Pharmaceutical and Personal Care
Products in Water Resources," followed by a reception. A live webinar is
also available for those unable to attend in person; dial-in and web
access information will be provided to registrants prior to program.

Powerful Message, Trusted Messengers
Health Advocates United for Chemical Policy Reform
A Webinar for Allies and Interested Groups 
Hosted by the Health Task Force of Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families
(SCHF)

Thursday, October 6,  11am PST/2pm EST - No Charge

Many of the products we use every day, like plastic food containers,
children's toys, and even clothing, contain toxic chemicals. Mounting
scientific evidence links these chemicals to serious disease and
disability, including infertility, cancer, and learning and
developmental disabilities. In response to these alarming facts and a
groundswell of public support, a national coalition has come together to
prioritize the health of our communities and pass common-sense limits on
toxic chemicals. We know that health advocates are some of the most
powerful and trusted messengers for chemical policy reform. This webinar
will provide an opportunity to hear coalition leaders give an update
from Capitol Hill, discuss the importance and power of the health
message, and share exciting opportunities for your organization to
"plug in" to this campaign. We will also spotlight the work of health
advocates from around the country, and create a space where you can
share your thoughts, ideas, and questions.

Speakers Include:

Nancy Buermeyer, Breast Cancer Fund
Donna Ferullo, The Autism Society
Andy Igrejas, Safer Chemicals Healthy Families
Kimberly Inez McGuire, Reproductive Health Technologies Project
Mark Mitchell, National Medical Association
Maureen Swanson, Learning Disabilities Association of America
