The Guardian podcast on pharmaceuticals in UK waterways, found even in national park streams.
Drugs like Metformin, Paracetamol and antibiotics pass through the body, enter the sewage system and end up in streams. #Wastewater treatment plants do not filter them properly. Some biodegrade, others persist. The substances and their metabolites disrupt river #ecology. Antibiotics in water bodies worsen the problem of antimicrobial resistance.

Hi, it’s the weekly #washingtonstate #kingcounty (that is, #seattle and environs) #COVID #COVID19 #wastewater toots.
A quick reminder that this King County respiratory disease data comes from Washington State, not the federal government.
Starting with the West Point (WSPT) sewage treatment plant: last week, the Sars-CoV2 7-day running average headed down. Historically speaking, it's at the lower end of the scale. Last data is from 4/1.
WSPT is one of three King County(-ish) sewersheds in this dataset. You can find overviews, individual sewershed results, and a breakdown of variants for the state wastewater surveillance program, along with other metrics like case counts and hospitalizations for Covid-19 and other respiratory illnesses, at https://doh.wa.gov/data-and-statistical-reports/diseases-and-chronic-conditions/communicable-disease-surveillance-data/respiratory-illness-data-dashboard#WasteWater. If you go to the page and click "learn more" in the statewide view tab, you can find out lots of details about how these data are calculated and how to interpret them. The dashboard gets updated every Wednesday (generally). The Department of Health is here on the feditubes, at @WADeptHealth.
