Saskatoon, SK collaborates with university researchers to track pharmaceuticals in wastewater

Saskatoon, SK University Collaboration Pharmaceutical Water

The University of Saskatchewan and the city's treatment plant analyze wastewater at multiple stages. Samples taken before, during, and after treatment are evaluated for common drugs like antibiotics and beta blockers. City officials use testing results to determine water treatment options that maintain the health of the South Saskatchewan River. University research could inform future public health and drug disposal campaigns.
