Researchers studying fish from the Niagara River have found that human antidepressants and remnants of these drugs are building up in their brains. The concentration of human drugs was discovered by scientists from University at Buffalo, Buffalo State and two Thai universities, Ramkhamhaeng University and Khon Kaen University. Fish in the Niagara River show concentrations of antidepressants in their brains higher than levels in the river itself. Aga said she did not believe the chemicals were a threat to humans, as people do not usually eat fish brains. Fish are receiving this cocktail of drugs 24 hours a day, and we are now finding these drugs in their brains."
