It is not immediately clear how these drugs are getting into the water in the first place. Agree with above comment- even trace compounds can cause problems- just look at what is happening to polar bears and organochloride exposure.
They may only be trace amounts, but the presence of pharmaceuticals in our drinking water is a disturbing reality. Look for this to become a public health issue of some prominence in the years to come.
