Invisible Pollution: Our Drinking Water May Contain It
Pesticides, pharmaceutical residues, industrial chemicals, heavy metals, nitrates … and even synthetic drugs: today, our water can contain substances that escape most conventional treatment processes. Even at very low concentrations, these substances may have cumulative or synergistic effects on human health over time.
Diffuse pollution – hard to detect
Drinking water contamination doesn’t only come from agriculture or industry. It can also result from domestic use, wastewater discharge, or aging infrastructure.
A striking example was revealed in the latest report from the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction. According to the study, levels of synthetic drug residues such as MDMA and methamphetamines have surged in Belgian wastewater. In Brussels, traces of methamphetamines increased 23-fold in ten years, while MDMA residues rose fivefold.
Although these analyses focus on wastewater, they clearly demonstrate how saturated our environment is with new chemical substances – some of which can end up in our water supply.
