Water samples collected from four Midwestern National Parks reveal a variety of prescription medications, personal care products, and insecticides are contaminating not just urban waterbodies, but even the most remote lakes. A recent journal publication by GLKN aquatic ecologist David VanderMeulen and Sarah Elliott of the U.S. Geological Survey details their results.
