Wastewater analysis and drugs — a European multi-city study​

The analysis of municipal wastewaters for drugs and their metabolic products to estimate community consumption is a developing field, involving scientists working in different research areas, including analytical chemistry, physiology, biochemistry, sewage engineering, spatial epidemiology and statistics, and conventional drug epidemiology. This page presents the findings from studies conducted since 2011. Data from all studies can be explored through an interactive tool, and a detailed analysis of the findings of the most recent study, in 2021, is presented.

There’s a fun ‘data explorer’ tool to filter by drug, weekday/weekend, city, etc.

I wish the US would do something coordinated like this. I’d be curious too see how fent has spread across the US from east coast to west. But i doubt we’ll ever get something like this out of the DEA or NIDA
