“From Prozac to caffeine to cholesterol medicine, from ibuprofen to bug spray, researchers found an alphabet soup of drugs and other personal-care products in sewage-treatment wastewater and in the tissue of juvenile chinook in Puget Sound.” ~ Seattle Times
Tainted Wastewater Poisons Salmon
A paper published in the journal Environmental Pollution has given a fresh meaning to the phrase “you are what you eat” — but this time, it’s in reference to the polluted diet of Pacific Northwest chinook salmon. Once hailed as an exceptionally healthy food, salmon has come under scrutiny as the ecosystem has become increasingly toxic from industrial waste,plastics, microbeads, general pollution and now, sewage treatment plants.The research was conducted in the Puget Sound area near Seattle, Washington, and found the amount of drugs and chemicals dumped into waterways could be as much as 97,000 pounds a year. This cocktail of toxins involved 81 different pharmaceuticals and personal-care products — including antidepressants like Paxil and Zoloft, narcotic pain relievers such as Oxycontin and Darvon, along with a range of antibiotics, fungicides, insecticides, antiseptics and anticoagulants. In some instances, cocaine, DEET and female reproductive hormones were also detected.
Who knew salmon could be ‘high’ on cocaine?
