Abstract
In this article, the authors look at drug and psychotropic substance residues detected in wastewater studies in Tallinn and Tartu over a specific period. A brief overview is given of the possibility of assessing drug use in a given area by analysing municipal wastewater to detect drugs and their metabolic residues. The analysis of municipal wastewater for drugs and their metabolic residues in order to assess drug use in the community is an emerging field of research. The method involves analytical chemistry, physiology and biochemistry, wastewater management, spatial and medical epidemiology as well as statistics.
