Trace Chemical Contaminants in Water and Wastewater - Semiarid Perspectives

The University of Arizona Water Sustainability Program in collaboration with the Arizona Water Institute offered a one day workshop to inform participants about "Trace Chemical Contaminants in Water and Wastewater - Semiarid Perspectives." The workshop was geared to the needs of water managers and decision makers to provide an update on emerging water contaminants of concern in the state. Leading experts from The University of Arizona, Arizona State University, Northern Arizona University, state and federal agencies and the private sector gave presentations on the most recent research findings of occurrence, environmental impacts, health effects, fate and treatment for an array of emerging chemical contaminants in our waterways including estrogens, PBDEs, new disinfection byproducts, nanoparticles and heavy metals. Perspectives from ADEQ and the Arizona Water Institute wrapped up the day.
