What does the DEA have to do with our drinking water?

They are helping us protect it from contamination with prescription and over the counter drugs.

The EPA has developed a list of 70 priority pharmaceuticals found frequently in water.

While how and when to test for these is being studied and debated, we can prevent a large portion of this pollution from entering our water by disposing of medication responsibly. The DEA has recently implemented a National TakeBack Initiative aimed at both preventing misuse of drugs and also protecting water quality. Many police departments now have anonymous drop boxes to safely dispose of medicines.
