Scientists Discover Where Drug Residues End Up Inside Crops Scientists discovered that crops exposed to trace pharmaceuticals in recycled water mostly stash the compounds in their leaves—not the parts we usually eat. In regions where freshwater supplies are limited, farmers sometimes rely on treated wastewater to irrigate crops. This practice helps conserve scarce water resources, but it also raises concerns among regulators and consumers. [...]
