Access to safe drinking water is a necessity of life and has been declared by the United Nations as a human right. Although Canada is blessed by its vast water resources, anthropogenic activities over the past few decades have significantly eroded the quality of our water supplies. In 2001, Environment Canada's National Water Institute published a list of 15 threats related to the quality of drinking water sources in Canada, including pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs), trace heavy metals, and pathogens. PPCPs have been detected in sub-ppm levels in many drinking water supplies. Although the long-term effect of PPCPs on human health has not been fully understood, with increasing public awareness all three levels of government in Canada have taken steps to address this rapidly growing issue. Moreover, with the accelerated pace of

获得安全饮用水是生命的必需品，已被联合国宣布为一项人权。尽管加拿大拥有丰富的水资源，但过去几十年来的人类活动严重侵蚀了我们供水的质量。2001年，加拿大环境部国家水研究所公布了一份与加拿大饮用水源质量有关的15种威胁清单，包括药品和个人护理产品（PPCP）、微量重金属和病原体。在许多饮用水供应中检测到亚ppm水平的PPCPs。尽管人们还没有充分了解农药残留对人类健康的长期影响，但随着公众认识的提高，加拿大所有三级政府都已采取措施解决这一迅速增长的问题。此外，随着全球化步伐的加快，
