2 Why do we care? (courtesy of J. Lavengood, U of Illinois)

3 B. Wilson, University of Kansas Envir. Sci. Technology 2003 our results suggest that these 3 PPCPs {triclosan, ciprofloxacin, tergitol} may potentially influence both structure a function of algal communities in streams receiving WWTP effluents

4 Where does sewage come from? Direct Deposit Down the Drain Disposal Unused medicine Bathing & Showering Creams, lotions, skin patches, sweat glas Mostly Human
