Interdisciplinary project on effects of drugs in the aquatic environment
Residues of pharmaceuticals in surface waters − in this case an antidiabetic and two antidepressants − also have effects on fish. Drugs for the treatment of depression have particularly strong effects, with fish losing their natural reaction to stress when substance concentration in the water is above a certain level. This is shown by studies carried out as part of the interdisciplinary project “Effect Network in Water Research” (Effect-Net).
