Why is it important?
The concept of monitoring of illicit drug levels in sewage - as a means of estimating human usage rates - was first proposed in 2001: Daughton CG "Illicit Drugs in Municipal Sewage: Proposed New Nonintrusive Tool to Heighten Public Awareness of Societal Use of Illicit/Abused Drugs and Their Potential for Ecological Consequences," in Daughton CG and Jones-Lepp TL (Eds.), Symposium Series 791; American Chemical Society: Washington, D.C., 2001, pp. 348-364; doi: 10.1021/bk-2001-0791.ch020
