Unabsorbed hormones from birth-control pills and other drugs can make their way into rivers, where they can alter the reproductive patterns of fish.”/pa href=”http://www.core77.com/blog/technology/bad_news–medication_we_take_goes_through_our_bodies_and_enters_environment_and_other_animals_can_wetlands_help_17212.asp”(more…)/a
