More than just clandestine drug labs hidden in the jungles of South America may pollute the environment such as, the legal worldwide narco company Eli-Lilly, the makers of Prozac. It appears one the world's most popular drugs to treat depression Prozac (fluoxetine) may have potentially negative environmental effects. A report from the
UK's Telegraph 8-8-04 states Prozac has been found in Briton's water supply.
