Great news from the (UK) Environment Agency:
Traces of the antidepressant Prozac can be found in the nation's drinking water, it has been revealed.An Environment Agency report suggests so many people are taking the drug nowadays it is building up in rivers and groundwater.
A report in Sunday's Observer says the government's environment watchdog has discussed the impact for human health.
A spokesman for the Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI) said the Prozac found was most likely highly diluted.
...The Environment Agency report concluded that the Prozac in the water table could be potentially toxic and said the drug was a "potential concern".The exact amount of Prozac in the nation's drinking water is not known.
Isn't that grand? It's even better than bromide in the tea. One wonders if some ministers are now cursing that this news has come out.
