Drugs in the water are chemicals in the water and some of the most dangerous chemicals we make are medicines, drugs, and pharmaceuticals. Gene altering drugs are causing childhood diseases such as autism.

1. Drugs in the Water
Why We Care?

2. Things we thought were right..
• In 1975 I thought oil
from my Dad’s Chevy
was Supposed
disposed of behind
the garage.
• You wouldn’t believe
how I used to clean
my chemistry set.

3. Things we thought were right..
• 1n 1995 I thought fluorescent light bulbs were
ok to land-fill
• In 2007 I thought drugs were safe to flush down
the toilet
• Until 2008, I thought your body burned up
medicine and it was gone

4. I was wrong.
sorry.

5. Terms we need to understand
• Pharmaceuticals
• Drugs
• Medicines
They are all CHEMICALS
The most dangerous
chemicals mankind
manufactures are
DRUGS.

6. MERCK Safety Data Sheet
• May Cause Cancer
• Heritable Genetic
Damage
• Harm to the Unborn
Child
• Very toxic by
inhalation and if
swallowed

7. How Dangerous are they?
• Soooo Dangerous that the Drug
companies are subcontracting their
manufacture.
• A.P.I.’s
• Why???
• To limit their liability…exposure of their
workforce

8. Contained Chemistry
Synthesizing highly potent compounds is a lucrative and
growing niche for custom chemical manufacturers
Ann M. Thayer
• June 16, 2008 Volume 86, Number 24 pp. 17-27
• Steroids, hormones, prostaglandins, and
chemotherapeutics are examples of drugs typically
classified as potent. Of these, new cancer drugs are
generating the most interest. In fact, 750 cancer
therapies are in development, according to a new
survey by the industry group Pharmaceutical
Research & Manufacturers of America. They include
targeted drugs, potent chemotherapies, and highly
potent cell-killing or cytotoxic agents conjugated to
delivery molecules.
• Oncology is already one of the largest drug product
sectors, accounting today for about $48 billion in
global sales, reports the market research firm IMS
Health. The sector is growing 12–15% per year, or
more than twice as fast as the overall
pharmaceutical market. That's why custom
chemical suppliers that can manufacture potent
compounds for drug industry customers occupy an
attractive niche. And those with conjugation
expertise sit in an even more appealing niche
within the high-potency area (see page 28).

9. How little is too much?
• Some of the doses are in Nano gram per
liter, some even pico gram per liter. That
is PPT (Parts Per Trillion)
• If you take dollar bills and stack them like
a deck of cards a trillion dollars would
stretch from Boston to somewhere in
Ohio.

10. Follow the trail..
• The drugs are shipped to the Pharmacy
where they are handled in a Bio hood like
anthrax
• The nurses are protected when they inject
the patient
• And the patient goes home to give chemo
to their families

Chief, Environmental Chemistry Branch
EPA

12. Keep following the trail..
• If they are on a septic
system the chemo
kills the bugs. Where
does it go from there?
• If you are on a septic
system you are
probably on a well.

13. Right to the faucet
• If you are on public
sewer
• You are giving chemo
to everyone

14. Absorption of Drugs/Chemicals
• The minute percentage that stays in the
human’s system, nearly kills them. Hair
falls out, their skin is all dry. They nearly
die.
• And that’s exactly what these drugs are
intended to do -- Mutate human genes.
They really do their job well.

15. What happens next?
• These drugs break into the blood cells, attack
DNA, start breaking off chromosomes, so when
the cell splits, it’s a different cell…
• A MUTAGEN. Also a Teratogen.
• These chemicals are known carcinogens. 30% of
breast cancer survivors develop a secondary
cancer.

16. Not New Information to You..
• OSHA has clearly established protocol for
handling of hazardous drugs
• NIOSH has developed a list of HD’s, with
200+ chemicals
• Now… the focus is on DISPOSAL….

18. What if the Cure is Also a
Cause?
The Same Chemo Drugs That Save Some Cancer Patients'
Lives Put Health Workers at Risk
By Jim Morris
Special to the Washington Post
“Last March, the federal government issued an unusually detailed
alert to the nation's 5.5 million health care workers: The powerful
drugs used in chemotherapy can themselves cause cancer and pose
a risk to nurses, pharmacists and others who handle them.”

19. OSHA and NIOSH
• One study in 1985 found nurses who worked on
the Oncology floor of a hospital had a
miscarriage rate almost five times the norm.
• Hospitals have been collecting the RCRA Waste.
Need to collect the Pharmaceutical Waste.
• At minimum, the OSHA regulated and the
NIOSH regulated drugs.

20. Who besides us says so?
• Recent Associated Press series highlighting the
prevalence of pharmaceuticals in the drinking
water has jump-started Federal, State, Local
action.
• Massachusetts, Rhode Island, EPA, OSHA all
taking the situation seriously, scheduling
summits, forming committees, and drafting
regulation.

21. The Media Reports
• A report published by a science correspondent for The Telegraph
(U.K) states: quot;The observed concentrations of pharmaceuticals in
raw waste water indicate that the major source of
pharmaceuticals to the environment is via sewage
treatment works effluent.” (By Richard Gray, Science
Correspondent The Telegraph, 01/13/2008)
• The Independent Reports..”Powerful Anticancer drugs are of
particular concern as they can be excreted unaltered into
the body into the sewerage system…The developing human
embryo inside a pregnant woman could be particularly vulnerable
to minute amounts..as they will be able to pass through the gut into
the placenta.

22. One’s Man’s Theory….
• It is my theory that cytotoxic
chemotherapy drugs could very well be
the cause of Autism.
• The drugs break into the bloodstream and
alter DNA. Autism is a genetic disorder
that is not heritable.

23. Autism Link…
• Autism Affects One in 150 children in the US,
one in 97 in NJ and one in 60 in northern NJ
• Northern NJ also has the highest concentration
of Pharmaceuticals in the world.
• 3 out of 4 are Male that means 1% of US males
born are affected.
• Some say it is better diagnosis, that would mean
1% of 40 year old men would have it

24. It’s just a Theory..
• Actually a Hypothesis..
• Scientific testing is surely in order…
• I welcome anyone here to help.
I hope I’m wrong…
but I’m afraid I’m not.

25. Current Methods Don’t Work
• Flushing is not the answer
• Putting it in with sharps is not the answer
• Putting it in the trash is not the answer.
• Collection IS. Not just un-used pharma I
mean excrement of Hazardous Drugs from
humans
We are here to provide the solution.

26. Again. why do you care?
• It WILL become regulated..
• You will be held responsible.
• So..BE Proactive..

27. Doing the Right Thing is Easy
• Doing the right thing now, will save you money
later. Not to mention helping to save the planet
– and future generations of humans that inhabit
it.
• The right thing is to collect it, dispose of it
safely.
• How? With my patented collection system, the
Pharmaceutical Remedial Toilet (PRT).

28. Conclusion….
• Drugs in the water are a HUGE
environmental problem.
• We’re only at the tip of the proverbial
iceberg.
• We can solve this problem. And save the
planet.

29. Thank You!
