Have you ever wondered what is in your sewage?  Well, research scientists have taken a recent interest in studying sewage as well as local police departments.  Did you know that there are actually drugs in sewage?  It’s kind of a weird thought at first.  After all, no one really gives as much as a fleeting thought towards even flushing their toilet.  However, there is growing concern, especially among environmentalists that the drugs used by drug abusers are being flushed down the toilet or in the drains of kitchen sinks and showers everywhere, thereby contaminating the water.  It is both devastating and interesting at the same time.  After alll, think about what goes on at a police raid.  The drug dealer is inside and upon hearing the police at the door, what is always the first thing they do? Get rid of the drugs.  This is most often accomplished by flushing it down the toilet.  Researchers are now studying the sewage in cities all over the United States and police are able to take their findings and come up with a relatively accurate percentage of people who are using illegal or prescription drugs.
