JONES-LEPP, T. L. RESEARCH TOWARDS DEVELOPING METHODS FOR SELECTED PHARMACEUTICAL AND PERSONAL CARE PRODUCTS (PPCPS) ADAPTED FOR BIOSOLIDS. Presented at Pacific Southwest Organic Residuals Conference, Davis, CA, September 25 - 27, 2007.
Impact/Purpose:
Clean and Safe Water – by providing water quality research and methods development at multiple scales, utilizing landscape ecology and associated techniques
Description:
Development, standardization, and validation of analytical methods provides state-of-the-science
techniques to evaluate the presence, or absence, of select PPCPs in biosolids. This research
provides the approaches, methods, and tools to assess the exposures and reduce the human health
risks from several specific PPCP biosolids contaminants (i.e., macrolide and fluoroquinolone
antibiotics, and synthetic musks). Having available sound measurement methods for the analysis
of PPCPs in biosolids is expected to foster the development of improved treatment techniques,
thereby reducing the risk from possible human health or ecological impacts from land application
of biosolids.
