Yesterday we collected water samples for the RiverPACE
(Riverine Pharmaceutical Assessment, Collection, Education) project. The goal of RiverPACE is to promote awareness of Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products (PPCPs). PPCPs are the medicines you take, the soaps you use, and the make-up you wear. Our water samples from Charleston Harbor will be sent to scientists to analyze. Our samples will help scientists better understand how these trace amounts of pharmaceuticals affect aquatic ecosystems and their biotic components.
