Fish Pharms

It's accepted in science circles that we have a problem in Australia with pharmaceuticals in our water. They come from people dumping them down the loo, but also from chemicals rinsed off in the shower - and who doesn't do that?

This National Geographic infographic shows the pharmaceuticals found in a fish caught in the lake off Chicago. Worth the click.

So we know the problem; what about the answer? This one is a super doozie of a pollutant. We don't know the effects, or how long it will take for them to happen. In fact we know almost nothing about it except that there is only one method of removing it.
