If you live in an English town your sewage will likely be treated twice before being discharged into a river. If you live in a small village it may only be treated once. Neither is enough to destroy all the meds + pathogens in sewage. In Switzerland, they treat water 3x to destroy meds + pathogens🧵
⚠️💧 A new study by the University of Exeter found that when common non-antibiotic drugs like painkillers mix with antibiotics in our waterways, they help bacteria become antibiotic-resistant.
This aligns with findings from our Autumn #GreatUKWaterBlitz. 🔗 https://earthwatch.pulse.ly/cpuuoj9fg5
