A Moment of Science
Is flushing or throwing away better for the environment?
Household drugs like painkillers, antibiotics and hormones enter the water system in many ways. For example, some animal feeds contain antibiotics and might flood into rivers with run-off, while other antibiotics are flushed or dumped down sinks and toilets in homes.
With a water shortage looming, we should all try and conserve as much of it as possible.
