SR. PROJECT: Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products in Residential

Water

. There were speculations in local newspapers of toxins in

residential (faucet) water. I analyzed the faucet water from

my home.

. The water sample was placed in a separatory funnel using

dichloromethane to extract the organic layer. The extract was

then placed in the TurboVap to dry the extract down to 1-mL.

The water sample was analyzed using the Gas Chromatography-

Mass Spectrophotometer.

. There were 200 different compounds identified in the sample by GC-

MS screening. Most of the compounds identified can be found

in shampoos, soaps and toothpaste.
