Online Methods for Evaluating the Safety of Reclaimed Water

Abstract

The objective of this research was to develop an online bioassessment platform (i.e. Japanese medaka) to evaluate the safety of reclaimed water. Evidence exists that indicates the presence of unregulated organic contaminants (e.g., pharmaceuticals and personal care products) in municipal wastewater effluents, surface waters, groundwater, and drinking water sources are at concentrations that adversely affect endocrine and reproductive systems of fish. Published by WERF. 110 pages. Soft cover and online and PDF. (2007)

Originally funded as WERF project 01-HHE-4a.
