1 Chemicals of Emerging Environmental Concern: The New Micropollutants NJ Water Monitoring Coordinative Council January 23, 2008 Herb Buxton USGS Toxic Substances Hydrology Program U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey
2 2 Chemicals of Emerging Environmental Concern? Human Drugs Vet. Drugs Antibiotics Hormones Steroids Detergents Plastics Antioxidants Fire retardants Disinfectants Fumigants Fragrances Insecticides/ Repellants
3 3 Why the sudden interest? Clofibric Acid found in Swiss Lakes and the North Sea. CH 3 Cl O COOH Cl O COOH H CH 3 H 3 C CH 3 Mecoprop (Pesticide) Clofibric Acid (Cholesterol Drug) Buser, et al, 1998.
4 4 Human Waste Pathways WWTP CSOs Septics Industrial Disch. Landfills Water Reuse.
5 5 Animal Waste Pathways Animal Agriculture Waste lagoons Land application Processing Aquaculture Manure (kg/day) Human 1.5 Cow 30 Hog 4 Sheep 1.5 Chicken 0.14
6 6 Selecting Compounds and Designing Studies Quantities used. Pathways for chemical release. Health significance (Known or Potential). Ability to measure - Reliably. Anticipated environmental behavior. Potential as chemical indicators/tracers. Stakeholder priorities.
7 What have we learned? Present in water at sub-ppb conc. s. Present as complex mixtures. USGS CEEC Sites >1000 Wells >400 Streams >75 WWTPs 7 Reflect a wide range of human activities. Some are mobile and persistent. Present in various environmental media (water, solids, tissue).

15 Antibiotic Resistance Direct use in orchards. 15 Resistance develops in organisms. Environmental transfer of resistance genes. Multiple resistance. Resistance from non antibiotics. Resistance from chronic low-level level exposure? Animal waste lagoons Aquaculture
16 16 Other Ecological Effects Antibiotics: Reduced soil microbial activity at Env. Concentrations (Costanzo( et al., 2005; Thiele- Bruhn and Beck, 2005). Triclosan (antimicrobial disinfectant): Effects thyroid in frogs (Veldhoen et al., 2006). Diclofenac (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory): inflammatory): Consumption of diclofenac-treated meat caused renal failure in vultures (Oaks et al., 2004).
17 17 Other Ecological Effects -- continued Ciprofloxacin, triclosan, Tergitol NP 10: shifts in algal community structure (Wilson et al., 2003). Drug Mixtures 13: Inhibited growth of human embryonic cells at env.. levels (Pomati( et al., 2006).

22 Information & Research Needs 22 Identifying priority compounds and source pathways. Improved methods (occurrence and effects). Comprehensive exposure characterization. Comparative efficacy of treatment technologies and BMPs. Ability to extrapolate from ecologic effects to human risk. Additional info on specific sources and sensitive environ. s. Tox.. testing of priority compounds & environment mixtures. Field demonstration of linkage between exposure & effects.
