These reports raised concerns about the potential impact of these pharmaceuticals on human health and the environment. Pharmaceuticals are a particular concern because they are designed to interact with human or animal physiology. Much is known about the therapeutic uses of pharmaceuticals, but little is known about their potential risk to human health from long-term exposure through drinking water. This book examines the research reported in the detection of pharmaceuticals in the U.S. water supply. 410 0$aWater resource planning, development and management series. 606 $aEnvironmental health$zUnited States 606 $aDrinking water$xDrug content$zUnited States 606 $aWater-supply 606 $aDrinking water 606 $aWater quality management 606 $aAdministrative agencies$zUnited States$vRules and practice 615 0$aEnvironmental health 615 0$aDrinking water$xDrug content 615 0$aWater-supply. 615 0$aDrinking water. 615 0$aWater quality management. 615 0$aAdministrative agencies 676 $a363.6/1 702 $aBlevins$b Ed T. 702 $aRush$b Sherman E. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910155235703321 996 $aPharmaceuticals in the U.S. water supply$92879053 997 $aUNINA
