Do you have plans for follow-up on this study?
This stream reconnaissance study is the first of several nationwide
efforts by the USGS Toxic Substances Hydrology Program to determine
how prevalent organic wastewater contaminants are in our Nation's water
resources. Sampling has already been completed from a set of susceptible
ground-water sites (56 sites in 17 states) and a network of sources
of drinking water (76 sites in 27 states). In addition, future research
will be conducted to better understand the fate, transport and effects
of these compounds in the environment. Stay tuned to this web page.
