Researcher says ‘alarming’ amount of meth found in Shreveport’s wastewater

SHREVEPORT, La. (KSLA) - A stunning discovery has been made in the City of Shreveport’s wastewater: large amounts of methamphetamine.
Several experts claim it could be linked to a major part of Shreveport’s drug problem.
LSU Shreveport Health Science’s Louisiana Addiction Research Center has been working on the research for about a year.
”We found that meth levels in the wastewater in Shreveport were two times the levels found anywhere else that have been reported. We think that this is important, and it seems like our biggest drug problem in Caddo Parish is meth and we need to focus on that,” said Dr. Nicholas Goeders, PhD, professor & chairman of Pharmacology, Toxicology & Neuroscience.
Goeders said he’s also concerned about the environmental impact the meth could have.
“We have to think about what are the environmental effects of this. We’re only measuring what is used in Shreveport that goes down into the sewer system. But think about the rural communities, they use septic tanks and the purified water they have is sprayed onto their lawns after it’s finished in the septic tank. I don’t know how much meth is out there. It could be that it’s getting into the soil, it could be getting into our lakes,” he said.
Goeders said the research center will continue monitoring meth levels in Shreveport’s wastewater. The center also hopes to expand their efforts in Shreveport to other parishes.
In other news, water is wet.

The only stunning part about this is Shreveport is still a city.

Guess he’s implying that all the rural folks are meth addicts.

Well…what’s coming out of the outfalls of the wastewater treatment plants? Have you measured?

Can they tell the difference between meth and Adderall? LSU med in port could be half the problem.
Could be the casino visitors from TX contributing to the problem?

Thanks, detective.
Just entertaining your theory.. how would students' adderall wind up in the waste water if they're taking it. Same question for the casino visitors for TX. Usually people take their adderall/smoke their meth instead of flushing it.

Are they not testing the wastewater?

How much Shreveport wastewater do i have to smoke to rob a bank.

You’d think with meth in the tap water the local population would be more productive

From an experience I had in Shreveport this is not at all a surprise.

I have to occasionally get analyses of wastewater for work…..you would be absolutely shocked at what you find in wastewater when you analyze it.

I still don’t understand why people go to Shreveport casinos over Oklahoma casinos. Shreveport casinos are a joke comparable to Choctaw - Durant and Winstar.
