Emerging Contaminants in the Aquatic Environment - Risk & Regulatory Perspectives
The USGS co-sponsored the Society for Risk Analysis' and the Society
of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry's workshop on "Emerging Contaminants
in the Aquatic Environment - Risk & Regulatory Perspectives" on October
3-4, 2002, in Raleigh, NC. The objective of this workshop was to discuss
and present the latest research on emerging contaminants within the context
of risk assessment and to discuss water resources policy with regard to
these emerging contaminants. Results from the Toxics Program's reconnaissance
for pharmaceuticals in U.S. Streams was presented at the meeting.
