What Are We Doing Now? To Measure Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products in the Environment. Approaches to Emerging Chemicals Issues Workshop March 1, 2005 Herb Buxton Coordinator, Toxic Substances Hydrology Program

Key Questions How do we decide which chemicals to measure? How do we assure a representative measurement? How do we decide where to look in the environment? How do we decide which environmental media to sample (water, sediment, tissue,…). How do we decide what to monitor?

How do we decide which chemicals to measure? Mass produced/Quantities used. Manner used & release pathways. Anticipated environmental behavior. Health significance. Ability to measure. Potential as indicators/tracers. Stakeholder priorities.

The Catch! Why are you studying this compound if you don’t know if it’s a health risk? Health effects information to guide environmental occurrence studies. Environmental occurrence information to guide health effects studies.

Gadolinium complex of diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid MRI Contrast Agent (Gromet and others, 1984; Bau and Dulski, 1996; Möller and others, 2002; Verplanck and others, 2003) The Gadolinium Anomaly Distance (km) Fourmile Creek Gd Conc (µg/L) -0.1 km = km = km = Boulder Creek Gd Conc (µg/L) -0.1 km = km = km = Unpublished/Provisional Data Distance (km)

158 Compounds in Water 45 Antibiotics 12 Prescription Drugs 8 Nonprescription Drugs 14 Hormones and Steroids 79 Household and Industrial Compounds 83 Compounds in Sediment 3 Antibiotics 12 Prescription Drugs 7 Nonprescription Drugs 61 Household and Industrial Compounds USGS Analytical Capabilities

How do we assure a representative measurement? Consistent field protocols. Field Quality Assurance. Laboratory QA. Agregate QA datasets. Interlab comparison & coordination.

How do we decide where to look in the environment? Investigating Source Pathways for Environmental Release

Testing for Environmental Occurrence Are contaminants entering our aquatic environments ? At what Levels? In what Mixtures? Stream Recon GW Recon spring sump well Looking in Urban and Agricultural areas.

How do we decide which environmental media to sample?
