On Skeptically Speaking:
This week, we take another look at water, and what happens to it after it goes down the drain. Researcher Liz Borkowski joins us for a look at the connection between sewage and civilization, and the struggle to introduce modern sanitation in the developing world. And we'll talk to Dr. Alistair Boxall, about the sources and effects of pharmaceutical contaminants in the environment.
This show records live on Sunday, 3/13 at 6 pm MT, and airs on CJSR on Friday, 3/18 at 6 pm MT. The podcast will be available to download by Noon MT on Sunday, 3/20.

For at least the last 10 years, we have taken our pharmaceutical waste seriously. We put it in a separate bag to be incinerated. I do hope our incinerator has a way to capture the particulate matter to keep it out of the atmosphere...Otherwise, there is not much difference between 'rock' and 'hard place'.
