Towards a research strategy on the assessment of human and agricultural pharmaceuticals and therapeutic products in the Canadian environment / Mark R. Servos, Elizabeth Innes.: En13-5/01-054E-PDF
"Pharmaceuticals and therapeutic products in the environment is an important emerging international issue with potential implications for Canadians and the Canadian environment. The use of these substances by humans and in agriculture results in their environmental release in effluents or surface runoff. Several of these chemicals have been widely detected in surface waters at concentrations that may cause adverse effects in ecosystems and there are concerns over their possible presence in drinking water supplies.... This report is the proceedings of a multidepartrnental meeting held on August 15th, 2001, which scoped the research needs of the federal departments with regard to this issue. The major knowledge gaps, and needs, as well as a recommended path forward are presented based on the conclusions of the meeting participants"--Management Perspective.
