Before the stream survey started in 1999, most research on pharmaceuticals and personal care products in streams had been done in Europe, says Herbert Buxton, one of the paper's co-authors and coordinator of the USGS's toxic

Substances Hydrology Program would see funding eliminated for radioactive waste disposal and municipal wastewater science.
