Many of these lifesaver Pharmaceuticals find there way into
drinking water, usually in trace amounts (ppt). Artificial Sweeteners
in Drinking Water are being found; however, a threat level has
not been established by the US EPA. Ongoing testing and new testing
methods have not led to any conclusions as to PPCPs in Drinking
Water. PPCPs in Drinking Water are constantly an issue and one
of growing concern. While PPCPs are found in very low levels
in drinking water, there is a concern of possible cumulative
effects of long-term exposure.
While most PPCPs are known compounds, they may react in ways
that are different from their intended purpose once they are
introduced into the environment.
- PPCPs can be introduced into the environment in several ways,
including:
-Flushing unused medications down the toilet or sink
-Rinsing personal hygiene and household cleaning products down
the drain
-Excreting unabsorbed medications into the sewage system
-Farm animals excreting veterinary drugs, including hormones
and antibiotics, into fields where they run off into lakes
and streams
-Commercial improper disposal methods
-
- Technologies under investigation include membranes which
physically remove compounds and ozone or UV which break them
down.
-
- UV irradiation has shown that the technique may be effective
at destroying a variety of hormones, pharmaceuticals, and other
chemicals, that are now commonly found in our drinking water
sources and in our Wastewater.
-
- Membrane water ultrafiltration is a ways off as an answer
to the PPCPs in drinking water. The testing required to pass
US EPA scrutiny is costly. Don't look for an answer any time
soon.
-
- There are at least 2500 chemicals that fall in the class
of PPCPs. All drinking water filters claim to remove some of
the PPCPs in drinking water. If you are concerned about PPCPs
in your drinking water you will have to query several drinking
water filter manufactures and request information on the PPCPs
their systems remove. Pick 2 filter systems and maybe you can
remove some of the PPCPs in you drinking water.
