5th International Conference on Pharmaceuticals

and Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals in Water

# March 13-15, 2006

# Costa Mesa, California 

Hilton Costa Mesa

According to the U.S. EPA, evidence suggests that environmental exposure
to some anthropogenic chemicals may result in disruption of endocrine
systems in human and wildlife populations. Concerns of endocrine
disrupting chemicals appearing in the environment, water, soil, and
foodstuffs have focused considerable national and international interest
in their origin, transport, fate, and manner of detection, especially
given the persistence of certain EDCs in the environment. NGWA\'s 5th
International Conference on Pharmaceuticals and Endocrine Disrupting
Chemicals in Water provides a timely and comprehensive vehicle to
address this topic as science advances.\
\
Risk management tools and the need for their further development to
address pharmaceuticals and EDCs were clearly identified in the fourth
conference. This fifth international conference will continue along
these same avenues to provide comprehensive coverage of the latest
advancements in science in this area. The conference will highlight
innovative and cost-effective technologies in the equipment marketplace,
as well as new regulatory approaches on human and environmental risk
assessment and management in Europe and the United States. In addition
to the workshops, speakers, and presentations, there will also be a
field trip to the Orange County Groundwater Replenishment System where
state-of-the-art treatment handles many of these compounds.

**Session Titles:**

**•** Occurrence of pharmaceuticals and EDCs in the environment

**•** Human and veterinary sources of pharmaceuticals and EDCs in the
environment

**•** Fate and transport of pharmaceuticals and EDCs in the environment

**•** Modeling and measurement of pharmaceuticals from hospitals,
municipal, and

veterinary sources

**•** Natural attenuation of pharmaceuticals and EDCs

**•** Human health effects from exposure to EDCs and pharmaceuticals

**•** Antibiotics and drug-resistant bacteria

**•** Uptake of pharmaceuticals and EDCs by terrestrial and aquatic
organisms

**•** Effects of pharmaceuticals and EDCs on wildlife

**•** Environmental and human risk assessment and management of
pharmaceuticals and

EDCs

**•** Innovative and cost-effective remediation and treatment
technologies
