Re: Pharmaceuticals & Personal Care Products 4/25 & 5/22

[Rick Yoder <ryoder@mail.unomaha.edu>]

Gee, Gary, this seems like a popular
issue.  If people can't make it to Sacremento in May, perhaps they
would attend the Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products in Drinking
Water Supplies: Potential Risks and Best Practices Seminar in Lincoln,
Nebraska on Wednesday, April 25.

More here about the seminar in Lincoln:

Subject: [CAProductStewardship] DTSC Symposium on Pharmaceuticals and Personal
Care Products

This symposium is intended to provide an introduction to what PPCPs are,
information regarding their detection and fate in the environment, and
current views on the potential for human health and environmental impacts.
 

I have worked with some of the featured speakers on regional and national
workgroups, feel is a great opportunity for those interested in receiving
an introduction on this issue, and encourage 
you to participate.
Best,
Jessie
