内分泌干扰物化合物（EDC）和药物活性化合物（PHAC） 水源水污染被认为是饮用水质量中的重要新兴问题。 内分泌干扰物（EDCs）可以改变动物的内分泌系统，并具有 对人类和野生动物都有许多不良影响。 加拿大安大略省温莎市温莎公用事业委员会（WUC）已实施 2001年，A.H.Weeks水处理厂用于饮用水处理的臭氧 灭活微小隐孢子虫卵囊，改善水质。 原水 源头是连接圣克莱尔湖和伊利湖的底特律河。 温莎公用事业委员会正在调查臭氧在降解臭氧方面的有效性 环境化合物，如微量有机化合物，主要是杀虫剂和杀虫剂 制药。 成立了一个新的工作组，包括温莎公用事业委员会、五大湖 研究所（温莎大学），奥克兰大学，由国际联合会支持 委员会（IJC）和加拿大卫生部调查这些化学品的存在和 常规处理和臭氧处理工艺对这些污染物降解的影响 化合物。 分析表明，莠去津（除草剂）和水杨酸有显著的降解 与常规治疗相比，使用臭氧的卡巴氮平（抗癫痫、镇痛） 过程。 这项研究为供水和处理提供了独特而先进的信息 对于大湖区。这项研究的结果表明，臭氧处理 去除水中多种污染物。包括23个参考文献、表格和图表。

Endocrine Disrupters Compounds (EDCs) and pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) in source water are considered as important emerging issues in drinking water quality. Endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) can alter the endocrine system of animals and have been linked to a number of adverse effects in both humans and wildlife. The Windsor Utilities Commission (WUC), Windsor, Ontario, Canada, has implemented ozone for drinking water treatment at the A.H. Weeks Water Treatment Plant in 2001 for the inactivation of Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts, and to improve water quality. Raw water source is the Detroit River, which links Lake St. Clair and Lake Erie. The Windsor Utilities Commission is investigating the effectiveness of ozone in degrading environmental compounds, such as trace organic compounds, mainly pesticides and pharmaceuticals. A new work group was formed including the Windsor Utilities Commission, the Great Lakes Institute (University of Windsor), Oakland University, supported by the International Joint Commission (IJC) and Health Canada to investigate the presence of these chemicals and the effect of conventional treatment and ozone treatment processes on the degradation of these compounds. The analysis indicated that there is a remarkable degradation of Atrazine (Herbicide) and Carbamzepine (Anti epileptic, Analgesic) using ozone, compared with conventional treatment processes. The study provides a unique and advanced level of information for water supply and treatment for the Great Lakes Region. The findings of this study, have shown that ozone treatment removes a wide range of contaminants from water. Includes 23 references, tables, figures.
