Pilot Study on PPCPs at Champaign and Urbana Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs)

Two important sources of PPCPs and hormones in the environment are municipal/industrial wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs). WWTPs cannot completely eliminate all PPCPs and hormones, resulting in their discharge into the environment with effluent, while CAFO water is not required to undergo advanced treatment before it is reused. In spring 2013, Dr. Wei Zheng, senior research scientist at ISTC, and his team began investigating the concentrations and occurrence of 16 PPCPs and hormones at the Champaign and Urbana WWTPs to establish baseline information for the area.Illinois Hazardous Waste Research FundOpe

Medicine Collection Boxes

In spring 2013, ISTC became involved as a partner with a new program in Champaign Country which collects old and unwanted drugs to keep them out of landfills, or to keep them from being flushed down the toilet. The project was led by Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant (IISG).Ope

PPCPs: Extending Knowledge and Mitigation Strategies

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) are identified to be point sources for discharging PPCPs and hormones into the environment. In July 2014, the University of Illinois Extension awarded a two-year grant to Dr. Wei Zheng and Nancy Holm, along with collaborators Laura Kammin from the Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant Program and Michael Plewa of the U of I Dept. of Crop Sciences, for a research/outreach project titled “Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products: Extending Knowledge and Mitigation Strategies.”University of Illinois ExtensionOpe
