Amount of meth in Czech wastewater highest in Europe

The amount of methamphetamine in Czech wastewater is the highest in Europe, according to the results of an analysis conducted by the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA). The centre analysed wastewater in 80 cities across 25 European states. Czech cities took the first five places on the European ladder. The highest traces of methamphetamine were found in the wastewater of Ostrava, Brno, Česke Budějovice, Karlovy Vary and Prague, in that order. The drug meth, which is known as “pervitin” in the Czech Republic, is produced in illegal labs in this country and smuggled to other European states.
