Monitoring PPCPs: What's in your water?

Mass Spectrometry Webinar
from Thermo Scientific

PPCPs have recently become a popular topic of interest both within the water safety industry and in the general public. To date, little is known about the true fate of PPCPs in the environment and how they affect both human and aquatic species. Regulatory agencies are beginning to look into monitoring these compounds. This webinar will discuss:

- How and why PPCPs are of interest to researchers and regulatory agencies
- Global regulations and detection limits
- Comparison of analytical techniques: online vs. offline sample preparation, quantitation vs. screening
- Future trends in water analysis

Who Should Attend:

• State Labs, USDA, Environmental Canada, European Union
• EPA, FDA, State Agencies, Food & Agricultural Agency
• State Natural Resources; Department of Conservation
• Private, State, Governmental Labs; Local Water Authorities
• Lab Directors & Lab Scientists
• Water research organizations
• Non-profit environmental organizations
