”After patients excrete these contrast agents, even modern wastewater treatment plants cannot remove them from the wastewater, allowing them to enter the environment and pollute rivers and lakes.”
MRI contrast agents containing gadolinium have been detected across the North and Baltic seas, highlighting the persistence of these contaminants despite advanced wastewater treatment.
North and Baltic seas show widespread contamination by MRI contrasting agents
A comprehensive study by the CritMET research group, led by Prof. Michael Bau, a geochemist at Constructor University in Bremen, provides evidence of widespread contamination of the North Sea and the Baltic Sea with MRI contrast agents.
