The Gendered Implications of Chronic Exposures to Pharmaceuticals and Disinfection By-Products in Typical Drinking WaterThis project is an extension of the program-wide collaborative initiative, Women & Water in Canada. This particular report will focus specifically on the low-dose exposures to chemicals that enter our drinking water supplies from pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) and from disinfection by-products (DBPs) used in water treatment. The study of these two emerging threats together zeroes in on the complex interactions that occur between the vast number of contaminants, including drugs, now admitted to be present in Canadian water sources and the chemicals we employ to, ostensibly, make that water safe for drinking. Women & Water in Canada InitativeNNEWH led a program-wide collaborative initiative exploring the gendered risks to women in a country where water appears to be readily available. NNEWH produced a comprehensive report that examines the gendered impact of chronic low level chemical exposures from Canadian drinking water. Within this collaborative initiative, NNEWH also coordinated a review and critique of available data on BWAs, and a report applying a gender lens to the issue of the privatization and commercialization of Canadian water source. Please visit www.womenandwater.ca for more information on this project. Hormones as Pollution: An Environmental ScanNNEWH produced an “environmental scan”, or survey of the literature, on the gender-related implications of hormones as pollution, to develop a set of priorities for further research on the gender-related implications of hormones as pollution. This report highlights the gendered aspects of xenoestrogen exposure, outlining the current understandings, key debates and directions for future research in this field. In addition, this scan points to the specifically gendered aspects of endocrine disruption in the hopes that new understandings of and approaches to xenoestrogen research may lead to governance strategies that ultimately reduce the vast amounts of EDCs being produced and consumed each year. This scan was designed to raise awareness of the current issues and aims to develop an understanding of gender as an important variable in environmental health. NNEWH Student Journal: The Gender & Ecology PapersNNEWH engaged students in “applied ecology” research to look further into identified priority areas around hormones, water quality and environmental health. This process has led to a student-generated series of Gender & Ecology Papers that integrate research in applied ecology with a gender-based analysis to identify potential policy responses. The first volume of the Gender & Ecology Papers will be available in the fall of 2009. Please visit http://nnewh.org/thegenderpapers.php for more information on this project.
