PSCID 1370: Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products in the Environment

This course provides an understanding as to what can happen to the environment (personal and wildlife) in the presence of chemicals associated with pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs). This course focuses on identification of PPCP sources and entry points, removal strategies, as well as documented and potential cause/effect relationships between specific chemical products/byproducts and wildlife species. When relevant, potential cause/effect relationships between these chemical entities and human systems (e.g. reproductive system) will be explored.
