In Our Water? Flame Retardants, Anti-Microbial Nanosilvers and Synthetic Estrogen: Experimental Lakes Area wraps first research season under new management

What’s in our lake water? As we learned this year, increasingly the answer includes flame retardants and anti-microbial nanosilvers from our clothes and baby products, synthetic estrogen and other hormones from flushed pharmaceuticals, and mercury from coal plants.

Dans notre eau? Des infugeants, du nanoargent antimicrobien et de l'estrogene de synthese: La région des lacs expérimentaux termine sa première saison de recherche sous sa nouvelle direction

Que trouve-t-on dans l’eau de nos lacs? Comme nous l’avons appris cette année, la réponse comprend de plus en plus fréquemment des éléments tels que des ignifugeants et des formes de nanoargent antimicrobien provenant de nos vêtements et des produits pour bébé, de l’estrogène de synthèse et autres hormones composant les produits pharmaceutiques jetés dans les égouts, ainsi que du mercure rejeté par les usines fonctionnant au charbon.
