1 Glucocorticoid Receptor Activity of a Wastewater Effluent-Dominated Stream Lower Santa Cruz River, Tucson AZ Darcy VanDervort Dr. Shane Snyder Research Group Department of Soil, Water, and Environmental Science College of Agriculture and Life Sciences University of Arizona Special Thanks to: Water Sustainability Graduate Student Fellowship Program Technology and Research Initiative Fund 2014/2015

2 Wastewater Treatment Plant Discharge 85% of municipal wastewater treatment plants discharge into surface waters in the United States

3 Glucocorticoid Hormones Human secreted and synthetic Anti-inflammatory properties that treat health problems such as asthma and rheumatic diseases Not filtered out by typical wastewater treatment systems Detected in the environment around the world including US, Netherlands, and China Disrupt biological endocrine systems

4 Santa Cruz River Sampling Sites

5 Glucocorticoid Receptor Bioassay Expose genetically modified cells to river extracts Agonists bind to glucocorticoid receptors Quantify by fluorescence

6 Glucocorticoid Chemical Analysis 28 Target Analytes Aldosterone Flumethasone Amcinonide Flunisolide Beclomethasone Fluocinolone Acetonide Beclomethasone Dipropionate Fluocinonide Betamethasone Fluorometholone Budesonide Fluticasone Propionate Clobetasol Propionate Hydrocortisone Clobetasone Butyrate 6-α-Methylprednisolone Corticosterone Mometasone Furoate Cortisone Prednisolone Deflazacort Prednisone Deoxycorticosterone Acetate Spironolactone Dexamethasone Triamcinolone Fludrocortisone Acetate Triamcinolone Acetonide 8 Surrogates Cortisone-d8 Fludrocortisone-d5 Cortisone-d8 Methylprednisolone-d2 Hydrocortisone-d4 Prednisolone-d6 Dexamethasone-d4 Prednisone-d4 Solid Phase Extraction Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry
