Consumer Perceptions and Attitudes Toward EDCs and PPCPs in Drinking Water
Abstract
This project developed tools and guidance on understanding consumer perceptions and attitudes towards endocrine disrupting compounds, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products (EDCs/PPCPs) in drinking water to improve future communications and responses by the drinking water industry. In addition to the research report, the project developed 5 recommendation documents for different utility personnel, a document containing lists representing the most prominent terms used to refer to EDC and PPCP contaminants in water in the U.S. media, and a PowerPoint presentation that summarizes the results, which utilities can use for their own presentations. These additional deliverables are available on this project page under Project Resources. Published in 2013.
