[Pharmwaste] RE: seeking info

[Lucy, Burke]

Deb,

I don't know of a good one-page document with reasons for pharma collections but you could probably cobble something together from the first page of each of these:


*        August 2011 GAO report, "Action Needed to Sustain Agencies' Collaboration on Pharmaceuticals in Drinking Water" http://www.gao.gov/assets/330/322460.pdf

*        Secure & Responsible Drug Disposal Act of 2010  http://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/drug_disposal/non_registrant/s_3397.pdf

Greetings,

I'm trying to find a single document or two that briefly cover the reasons for pharmaceutical collections.  In other words, while we all are regularly bombarded with articles on pharmaceuticals in our waterways and we all know the drug diversion groups want to get them out of medicine cabinets; I'm having trouble finding one good document to explain what these dangers are, with statistics and/or facts.

I'm specifically looking for something short - maybe 2 pages maximum.
Any good ideas?

Thanks,
Deb
