>> AP Probe Finds Drugs in Drinking Water

>> A vast array of pharmaceuticals -- including antibiotics,
>> anti-convulsants,
>> mood stabilizers and *** hormones -- have been found in the drinking
>> water
>> supplies of at least 41 million Americans, an Associated Press
>> investigation
>> shows.
>>
>> To be sure, the concentrations of these pharmaceuticals are tiny,
>> measured
>> in quantities of parts per billion or trillion, far below the levels of
a
>> medical dose. Also, utilities insist their water is safe.
>>
>> But the presence of so many prescription drugs -- and over-the-counter
>> medicines like acetaminophen and ibuprofen -- in so much of our
drinking
>> water is heightening worries among scientists oflong-term consequences
to
>> human health.
>>
>> In the course of a five-month inquiry, the AP discovered that drugs
have
>> been detected in the drinking water supplies of 24 major metropolitan
>> areas -- from Southern California to Northern New Jersey, from Detroit
to
>> Louisville, Ky.
>>
>> Water providers rarely disclose results of pharmaceutical screenings,
>> unless
>> pressed, the AP found. For example, the head of a group representing
>> major
>> California suppliers said the public "doesn't know how to interpret the
>> information" and might be unduly alarmed.
>>
>> How do the drugs get into the water?
>>
>> People take pills. Their bodies absorb some of the medication, but the
>> rest
>> of it p***** through and is flushed down the toilet. The wastewater is
>> treated before it is discharged into reservoirs, rivers or lakes. Then,
>> some
>> of the water is cleansed again at drinking water treatment plants and
>> piped
>> to consumers. But most treatments do not remove all drug residue.
