[Pharmwaste] Current Research On Pharmaceuticals in Municipal Water Supplies

[Margaret Nellor]

You should review two reports on the Southern California Coastal Water Research Institute website. The first one addresses monitoring for CECs in recycled water - however it includes information on human health effects and a very nice summary in Appendix J (ftp://ftp.sccwrp.org/pub/download/DOCUMENTS/CECpanel/CECMonitoringInCARecycledWater_FinalReport.pdf). There is also a companion report on CECS monitoring for ecosystems and information on health effects (ftp://ftp.sccwrp.org/pub/download/DOCUMENTS/TechnicalReports/692_CECEcosystemsPanelReport_Final.pdf).

The Environmental Effects page has a study done by the USGS that shows 62% of the fish have cancer from a Genotoxic drug and compares the DNA damage to a fish injected with Cyclophosphamide, one of the most commonly used drugs to fight cancer. There are over 30 referenced papers from all over the world on the topic. Please feel free to contact me for further information.

I’m aware of the 2008 AP investigative report as well as other sources such as the EPA’s site. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks.
