Jose Luis Rodriguez Gil takes no longer than 60 seconds to ask if we know what happens to anti-depressants once we excrete them and they end up in our water.
And he describes an exciting new experiment from IISD Experimental Lakes Area that aims to answer that very question.
You know that groundbreaking freshwater research you just read about? Well, that’s actually down to you.
It’s only thanks to our generous donors that the world’s freshwater laboratory—an independent not-for-profit—can continue to do what we do. And that means everything from exploring what happens when cannabis flushes and oil spills into a lake, to how we can reduce mercury in fish and algal blooms in fresh water—all to keep our water clean around the world for generations to come.
We know that these are difficult times, but the knowledge to act on scientific evidence has never been more important. Neither has your support.
If you believe in whole ecosystem science and using it to bring about real change to fresh water around the globe, please support us in any way you are able to.
