This is another factor we can look into. Since the synthetic drugs

eventually cycle into the whole environment, there may be world-wide

toxic levels of every drug made by man. Perhaps there is already some

evidence of contamination.

Dear Suzy,

I can't remember where I read it but the person writing speculated on

that fact that everyone who takes these ssri's pees out some, which

pollutes wherever our pee gets dumped.

Then we have another approach to banning SSRIs.

F.D.A. Considers New Tests for Environmental Effects

By ANDREW C. REVKIN

The Food and Drug Administration, long focused on judging the effectiveness

and safety of drugs in the body, is considering requiring more tests for

their possible effects on the environment, agency officials said yesterday.

The officials said the environmental side of the drug-approval process,

which was cut back in 1997, will probably be re-evaluated in light of a

federal survey of streams that found traces of a host of medications,

excreted by people and livestock, that were not captured by sewage treatment

plants.

" We're looking very carefully at this data and aren't ruling out the fact

that we may have to make changes, " said Dr. K. Galson, deputy

director of the F.D.A. Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.

The survey of more than 100 waterways downstream from treatment plants and

animal feedlots in 30 states found minute amounts of dozens of antibiotics,

hormones, pain relievers, cough suppressants, disinfectants and other

products. It is not known whether they are harmful to plants, animals or

people.

The findings were released yesterday on the Web site of the United States

Geological Survey (http:// toxics.usgs.gov), which conducted the research,

and in an online journal, Environmental Science and Technology.

Additional federal studies are under way to see if any contamination reaches

taps or ground water used for drinking, but the program under which they are

conducted, the toxic substances hydrology program of the geological survey,

is slated to be eliminated under budget cuts proposed by the Bush

administration, government officials said.

The $14-million-a-year program was created in the Reagan administration, and

its data are used by many state agencies and federal scientists. The Bush

administration has instead proposed providing $10 million a year to the

National Science Foundation for water quality studies.

Federal officials, drug company scientists and private environmental

campaigners all said yesterday that the Geological Survey program provided

the first comprehensive concrete data on levels of antibiotics, hormones and

other drugs in American waterways.

Many of these substances fall through regulatory cracks because they are not

defined as pollution under clean-water laws, and they are not all checked

for environmental effects by the food and drug agency.

In 1997, the F.D.A. followed Clinton administration efforts to streamline

many regulations and greatly reduced the number of drugs for which

environmental assessments were required. A review of hundreds of previous

drug assessments turned up no instances where the compounds, once out of the

body, had an adverse effect, agency officials said.

Some categories were excluded from such assessments, including hormones,

like estrogen, which are natural substances.

" They streamlined the process so much that it's virtually nonexistent for a

lot of drugs, " said Dr. Goldburg, a senior scientist at

Environmental Defense, a private lobbying and research group.

Now, however, estrogens and similar compounds are increasingly the focus of

research by the Environmental Protection Agency and many scientists because

of hints that they alter sexual characteristics in fish and other aquatic

species.

" As we look more at low levels of drugs, it appears that some of them have

real biological effects in real situations, " Dr. Goldburg said.

About 40 percent of the streams in the study showed traces of estrogen or

other reproductive hormones.

Some drug company scientists said that one hurdle to assessing the effect of

hormones - like those in birth control pills - is that the substances are

also naturally produced by people, wild animals and some plants.

" It's hard to see what we'd be able to do about that, " said Dr. R.

Hagan, the vice president of Glaxo Kline for corporate health,

environment and safety.

" It's one thing to regulate the things we add to the environment, " Dr. Hagan

said. " But some of these things have been there as long as there have been

various plants around. "

An even bigger challenge, he and many scientists said, will be to get a

clear sense of whether there are risks posed by the dilute mixtures of many

substances that are not captured by water treatment methods.

Dr. Galson of the F.D.A. said that measuring minute amounts of the

substances in many streams was just one of many steps toward determining

whether they pose a risk to people or wildlife.

" There's still a lot of work to do, " he said.

Dear Suzy,

Looks like they're already on to the fluoride carbons in the SSRI drugs. This information is found on the site you just forwarded:

Fluoridate your own brains only! Not everyone (and everything) else's! Please!

Prozac, Paxil, Luvox, Sarafem, etc.* are "Fluorides!" -- Now all of Santa 's city tap water is also about to become such!

(-- even more! -- Then taxing, and charging you for it!)

Prozac* = Fluoxetinehydrochloride = Fluorine ion in brain! Fluoridated water = Hydrofluorasalycic acid = Fluorine ion in brain! *Prozac, (Zoloft,) Effexor, Paxil, Luvox, Serzone, Anafranil, and similar antidepressants - SSRIs (act against cerebral and frontal lobe-emotional memory/consciousness, conscience, and logic processing centers as neurological activity reducing agents, human and animal); reference: Dr Ann Blake , Ph.D..

I found a www.waterandlife.org that has united against flouridation in our

water. We can probably inform them that some of or meds w/ flouride

bases are also getting into the environment.
