Abstract

There is a growing concern that pharmaceuticals and other chemicals present in the effluents (sewage discharged into a river) from municipal wastewater treatment plants enter the aquatic environment, where they may affect the fitness of fish. We conducted lab based experiments to determine the potential of effluents from different municipal wastewater plants in the Grand River Watershed to affect the reproduction of adult zebrafish.
