AWRA returns to Colorado for their 2nd specialty conference on
contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in Denver, Colorado June 25-57,
2012.  CECs include: nonprescription and prescription drugs, hormones,
disinfectants, pesticides, pathogens, flame retardants and other
industrial chemicals, some household-cleaning products and fragrances,
and nanomaterials. Since the 2007 AWRA meeting in Vail
(http://www.awra.org/proceedings/Vail2007) significant accomplishments
have been realized in research, engineering, and community action
related to CECs. The goal of the 2012 conference will be to provide a
balanced interdisciplinary forum on CECs in the environment highlighting
the best of these efforts in a series of oral presentations and poster
sessions. 

 

The conference program will include high-quality technical research;
practical information about CEC risk targeted at educators, health
officials, and policy makers; potential solutions to CEC problems for
wastewater and drinking water treatment professionals; and moderated
discussion regarding future research and education needs. Technical
sessions will focus on the fate, transport, and environmental effects of
CECs in the environment and in wastewater and drinking water treatment
plants; the implications of CEC occurrence on water reuse; analytical
methods for detecting CECs in water, sediment, soils, biosolids, tissue,
and blood; assessments of potential human health risks or ecosystem
effects; policy and engineering solutions to CEC issues; and
implications of CEC research for policy and decision makers water
utilities, and the pesticide, pharmaceutical and household chemical
industries.
