Recommended Posts

"Researchers examining salmon from Puget Sound, Washington have found dozens of drugs within the tissues of juvenile chinook. Tylenol, Aleve, OxyContin, Benadryl, and Prozac are only a few from the cocktail of pharmaceuticals ingested by these fish.

 

The findings, published in the journal Environmental Pollution, say human waste is to blame."

"The research did not examine the potential effects on human health of consuming fish from Puget Sound, and it is unknown if these levels of emerging contaminants detected in fish could affect people."
