Modelling NSAID Pollution on Marine Microbiomes
Over-the-counter use of painkillers dates to the s, and has become increasingly normalized in modern society. The first-pass effect coupled with insufficient sewage treatment mechanisms have led to significant levels of pharmaceutical pollution in the environment. Scientists are only recently delving into the implications of chronic use on the human gut microbiome, and similar ramifications may hold for marine life that ingest pharmaceutical waste. As one of the first research efforts to understand the effects of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) on the gut microbiome of common marine species, this study points to potential microbiome alterations that may be correlated to behavioural complications from ibuprofen pollution.
