A study suggests that cocaine pollution in rivers and lakes may disrupt salmon behavior, with traces of the drug accumulating in their brains. This raises concerns about the impact of drug pollution on aquatic ecosystems and biodiversity.

Rivers, wildlife and raw sewage Cocaine pollution in rivers and lakes may disrupt behaviour of salmon, study finds "Traces of cocaine that pollute rivers and lakes may accumulate in the brains of salmon and disrupt their behaviour, according to researchers who warn of unknown consequences for fish populations." “Better wastewater management, particularly reduced raw sewage discharges, could help lower any risks to wildlife and their ecosystems." "Existing wastewater treatment efficiently removes many illicit drugs, including cocaine and benzoylecgonine, but a main source in waterways is raw sewage that can come from storm overflows and misconnects in household plumbing." >> https://www.theguardian.com/science/2026/apr/20/cocaine-pollution-may-disrupt-behaviour-of-salmon-study-suggests #rivers #pollution #RawSewage #infrastructure #drugs #pharmaceuticals #biodiversity #wildlife #fish
