GLIN==> The Environment Report for 12.14.09

Today on The Environment Report...

Wastewater treatment plants have
gotten better at cleaning water 
over the years.  But Samara Freemark
reports that some researchers are 
finding that these plants are missing
some common contaminants.

And... dirty gold.  That sparkly band 
on your finger might lose a little of 
its luster when you find out where it 
came from.  Anna Boiko-Weyrauch takes 
us to a gold mine in Ghana.  Find out 
how our jewelry here in the US might 
be hurting people halfway around the 
world.
