As the human population increases, so does the amount of direct and indirect consumption and excretion of pharmaceuticals, both in veterinary and medical application. Currently, the effects of this continual loading of pharmaceuticals in the aquatic community are unknown. The goal of Richards\u2019 research is to determine the compounds that may be the most harmful to aquatic organisms so that actions may be taken to protect the environment, if necessary.<\/p>\n<p>Richards\u2019 recent research has focused not only on the effects of pharmaceuticals on aquatic organisms, but also on examining the types of compounds present in the Chattanooga Creek and the potential effects of toxicants on nearby residents. Richards is also working with physicians and scientists from Columbia University, University of Rochester, University of Michigan, Erlanger Health System, and Southern Illinois University in researching the causes of the extremely low birth weight of Hamilton County, Tennessee infants.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about Richards\u2019 career, go <a href=\"http:\/\/www.utc.edu\/biological-environmental-sciences\/profiles\/cbj246.php\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Sigma Xi is a non-profit membership society of nearly 75,000 scientists and engineers who were elected to the Society because of their research achievements or potential, according to the Sigma Xi website.\u00a0 Founded in 1886, Sigma Xi has more than 500 chapters at universities, colleges, government laboratories, and industry research centers.
