    >The study looked at levels of norfentanyl, a byproduct that occurs when fentanyl breaks down in the body, to gauge fentanyl usage trends. Overall, levels in 2023 were slightly lower when compared to the year before.

    >While cities hadsignificantly different concentrations, Vancouver topped the list by far. Vancouver wastewater measured between 28 and 46 milligrams per day per 1,000 people.

    >Edmonton and Toronto, the cities with the next-highest concentrations, topped out around nine milligrams.

    Who knew making drugs easily accessible and not a criminal offense would have these effects.

  7. How does Vancouver and other cities around the world treat all the drugs from illicit to Non illicit, in the waste water? Scary to think what is going into our environment.
