TSCRA Daily News Update, July 7, 2008
EPA meetings focus on contaminants' impact on aquatic life NCBA staff participated last week in informational meetings with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). These sessions focused on the derivation of water quality criteria to protect aquatic life from emerging contaminants that exhibit endocrine disrupting activity (for example, pharmaceutical products that may affect the genetic makeup of aquatic species.) One component of this discussion is EPA's ongoing study of the effects pharmaceutical use in the livestock industry has on aquatic life, and the possible development of water quality criteria in response to results of the study.
