Creator:: Hoppe, Brenda O.
Abstract:: The Safe Drinking Water Act ensures that public systems provide water that meets health standards. However, no such protection exists for millions of Americans who obtain water from private wells. Concern for safety is warranted as most wells draw from underground aquifers, and studies demonstrate that groundwater is affected by...

Creator:: Anadu, Edith Chijioke
Abstract:: Contamination of drinking water occurs despite strict regulations, yet few studies have been conducted to assess the public's perception of risk about drinking water. The purpose of this study was to assess risk perception associated with drinking water supplied by small water systems and to determine alternative measures that people...

Creator:: Rooklidge, Stephen J.
Abstract:: The fate of antimicrobials entering the aquatic environment is an increasing concern for researchers and regulators, and recent research has focused on antimicrobial contamination from point sources, such as wastewater treatment facility outfalls. The terraccumulation of antimicrobials and mobility in diffuse pollution pathways should not be overlooked as a contributor...

Creator:: Isaacson, Carl W.
Abstract:: To determine the impact of emerging environmental contaminants on human and environmental health, quantitative analytical methods are required. Analysis of emerging contaminants is hampered by their widely varying physical-chemical properties. Therefore quantitative analytical methods must be developed to determine the behavior of emerging contaminants in environmental systems. A quantitative analytical...
