Abstract: To provide the first nationwide reconnaissance of the occurrence of pharmaceuticals, hormones, and other organic wastewater contaminants (OWCs) in water resources, the U.S. Geological Survey used five newly developed analytical methods to measure concentrations of 95 OWCs in water samples from a network of 139 streams across 30 states during 1999 and 2000. The selection of sampling sites was biased toward streams susceptible to contamination (i.e. downstream of intense urbanization and livestock production). OWCs were prevalent during this study, being found in 80% of the streams sampled. The compounds detected represent a wide range of residential, industrial, and agricultural origins and uses with 82 of the 95 OWCs being found during this study. The most frequently detected compounds were coprostanol (fecal steroid), cholesterol (plant and animal steroid), N,N-diethyltoluamide (insect repellant), caffeine (stimulant), triclosan (antimicrobial disinfectant), tri(2-chloroethyl)phosphate (fire retardant), and 4-nonylphenol (nonionic detergent metabolite). Measured concentrations for this study were generally low and rarely exceeded drinking-water guidelines, drinking-water health advisories, or aquatic-life criteria. Many compounds, however, do not have such guidelines established. The detection of multiple OWCs was common for this study, with a median of seven and as many as 38 OWCs being found in a given water sample. Little is known about the potential interactive effects (such as synergistic or antagonistic toxicity) that may occur from complex mixtures of OWCs in the environment. In addition, results of this study demonstrate the importance of obtaining data on metabolites to fully understand not only the fate and transport of OWCs in the hydrologic system but also their ultimate overall effect on human health and the environment.

Abstract: Dieses vor 25 Jahren erstmals erschienene, wichtige Nachschlagewerk steht nun in der 6. aktualisierten und erweiterten Auflage zur Verfügung. Es enthält Angaben zu ca. 620 toxikologisch relevanten Verbindungen, 116 mehr als in der 5. Auflage und 194 mehr als in der 4. Auflage. Es handelt sich um Medikamentwirkstoffe, illegale Drogen, Alkaloide, Pflanzenschutzmittel, toxische Metalle und häufig verwendete Chemikalien und Lösemittel. Die Angaben beziehen sich ausschließlich auf den Menschen. Jede Substanz bildet in alphabetischer Reihenfolge der internationalen Freinamen oder chemischen Bezeichnung ein eigenes einbis dreiseitiges Kapitel mit einheitlicher Gliederung.
