A new study looking into the freshwater marine life in the U.K. has made a shocking discovery of cocaine and illegal pesticides inside the shrimp.

The studies lead author, Dr Thomas Miller made statements on the research:

“Although concentrations were low, we were able to identify compounds that might be of concern to the environment and crucially, which might pose a risk to wildlife.”

The other compounds/drugs include cocaine, ketamine and a banned pesticide, fenuron.

Which was confirmed by Dr Miller:

 “As part of our ongoing work, we found that the most frequently detected compounds were illicit drugs, including cocaine and ketamine and a banned pesticide, fenuron. Although for many of these, the potential for any effect is likely to be low.”
