Pharmaceuticals, hormones, and other organic wastewater contaminants in U.S. streams, 1999-2000: a national reconnaissance.
Dana W. Kolpin,Edward T. Furlong,Michael T. Meyer,E. Michael Thurman,Steven D. Zaugg,Larry B. Barber,Herbert T. Buxton +6 more
TL;DR: The U.S. Geological Survey used five newly developed analytical methods to measure concentrations of 95 organic wastewater contaminants (OWCs) in water samples from a network of 139 streams across 30 states during 1999 and 2000 as mentioned in this paper.

Journal ArticleDOI
Persistence of pharmaceutical compounds and other organic wastewater contaminants in a conventional drinking-water-treatment plant
Paul E. Stackelberg,Edward T. Furlong,Michael T. Meyer,Steven D. Zaugg,Alden K. Henderson,Dori B. Reissman +5 more
TL;DR: This study provides the first documentation that many of the organic wastewater-related contaminants that represent a diverse group of extensively used chemicals can survive conventional water-treatment processes and occur in potable-water supplies.
Journal ArticleDOI
A national reconnaissance for pharmaceuticals and other organic wastewater contaminants in the United States--II) untreated drinking water sources.
Michael J. Focazio,Dana W. Kolpin,Kimberlee K. Barnes,Edward T. Furlong,Michael T. Meyer,Steven D. Zaugg,Larry B. Barber,Michael E. Thurman +7 more
TL;DR: Data will help prioritize and determine the need, if any, for future occurrence, fate and transport, and health-effects research for subsets of these chemicals and their degradates most likely to be found in water resources used for drinking water in the United States.
Journal ArticleDOI
A national reconnaissance of pharmaceuticals and other organic wastewater contaminants in the United States - I) Groundwater
Kimberlee K. Barnes,Dana W. Kolpin,Edward T. Furlong,Steven D. Zaugg,Michael T. Meyer,Larry B. Barber +5 more
TL;DR: Water samples were collected from a network of 47 groundwater sites across 18 states in 2000 and detections of some OWCs could have resulted from leaching of well-construction materials and/or other site-specific conditions related to well construction and materials.
