An insidious challenge faces reclaimed water.
Despite the United States' war on drugs, American love drugs, especially painkillers, antidepressants, caffeine and alconol. . . . In 2006, pharmacists filled approximately 3.4 billion prescriptions, up by 59 percent since 1995. . . . The connection to recycled water comes because hospitals and consumers routinely flush unused or expired pills down the toilet. Even with the pills we ingest, our boides do not entirely absorb the chemicals in them. Instead, the chemicals in brith control pills, hormone supplements, antibiotics and erectile dysfunction medicines pass through our bodes and end up at the local wastewater treatment facility . . . By one account, as much as 90 percent of drugs leave the body unchanged and still active.
Now here's the scary part.
The treatment process does not remove them.
