That's probably the most attention-grabbing headline I've had the opportunity to write. For those of you trying to figure out what-in-god's-name-he's talking about, it's actually the environmental problem of pharmaceutical residues in wastewater.
A Green Diary Rescue the other day highlighted a new facet of this problem; that there is now evidence that estrogen residue (typically from birth-control pills) increases the susceptibility of fish to disease. Another well-known problem is that these increased estrogen levels can have gender-bending effects on fish and amphibians - hence the title.
I've got a chemical engineering degree (even if I haven't seen a McCabe-Thiele diagram for years), and so I'm generally optimistic about finding technological solutions to problems, including ones caused by technology. After all, it's not likely pharmaceuticals are going to go away. So the question is, what options exist to do something about it?
