Listen "Emerging Contaminants: Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products (PPCPs)"
Episode Synopsis
Pharmaceuticals and personal care products can be found in every home in America, but now they are also showing up in our wastewater systems and even our lakes and rivers. In this third episode of the Emerging Contaminants series, hear from Professor Bill Arnold (University of Minnesota), Eva Weiler (K&L Gates), and Victor Xu (Marten Law) as they explore how these everyday products are making their way into the environment. The discussion also covers potential regulatory responses, including the possible U.S. ban of titanium dioxide—already prohibited in the EU—and the growing concern over pharmaceuticals and nanoparticles from personal care items polluting our waterways.
