GLASSMEYER, S., E. T. FURLONG, AND D. KOLPIN. PRESENTATIONS AT CALIFORNIA WATER ENVIRONMENT ASSOCIATION SPECIALTY CONFERENCE ON CHEMICALS OF EMERGING CONCERN. Presented at California Water Environment Association Specialty Conference on Chemicals of Emerging Concern, Van Nuys, CA, May 22 - 24, 2007.
Impact/Purpose:
The initial objective is to evaluate a large suite of chemical compounds for their correlation the incidence of illness due to human contamination of water sources. The ultimate objective of this task is to develop and evaluate a method that will determine the two to five strongest chemical candidates that are associated with human waste streams, and determine their ability to monitor water quality and predict human health effects in source and finished waters as a surrogate for traditional methods of human fecal contamination.
Description:
1. Introduction to Emerging Contaminants
2. Why are emerging Contaminants Important?
3. Regulatory Response to Emerging Contaminants
4. Identifying Chemical Compounds from Wastewater Discharge
