That is really where I am going here.

There were a number of reports about high quantities of illicit drugs in urban water. In London, eels were behaving bizarrely in the River Thames at some point. I am being deadly serious. There are a number of European countries in which drinking water has been found to have a quantity of drugs, be they illicit or otherwise. I am concerned about that in terms of foetal development and regular development. Have we data for that in any of our urban centres? Is the EPA looking at that in the light of other findings in other European cities? I think four cities were mentioned, from memory, with London and Amsterdam being among them. Is the EPA testing for that?
