Antidepressant drugs found in drinking water

[bn7]

Pharmaceuticals are now being found in drinking water, according to a study conducted in England. The study looked at 12 pharmaceuticals thought to pose an environmental threat, including painkillers, antibiotics, and antidepressants, and it found traces of these pharmaceuticals in both sewage waters and drinking water. It also found traces in the rivers downstream from the sewage treatment plants.

This is shocking information -- apparently we are dosing ourselves with such high levels of pharmaceuticals that we are now collectively polluting the rivers, streams and even the drinking water for the mass public.

Hello bn7:

Trust all is well with you. Thanks for the information! Seems as though the pharmaceutical marketing folks never give up!

What's next? Neuroleptics in mother's milk? My imagination runs amok!
