Public attitudes towards substance use and drug addiction - April/May 2023
Spurný, Martin
In a survey conducted during April and May 2023, the The Public Opinion Research Centre (CVVM) asked a set of questions about public attitudes towards substance use. Respondents over the age of 15 rated the extent to which they considered it acceptable to consume certain addictive substances, specifically tobacco, alcohol, painkillers, sleeping or tranquillisers, cannabis drugs (e.g. marijuana, hashish) and drugs such as ecstasy, methamphetamine and heroin. They commented on selected statements about the problem of drug addiction, whether drug use is a problem in the Czech Republic as a whole or in their place of residence, and whether the relevant institutions in the Czech Republic deal adequately with the problem of drug use.

This bachelor thesis deals with occurrence of pharmaceuticals in aquatic organisms. Sources of pharmaceuticals in recipients are treated effluents from sewage treatment plants. The mostly found in surface water and aquatic organisms are antibiotics, psychoactive pharmaceuticals, antihistamines, painkillers and cardiovascular pharmaceuticals. The occurrence of 20 selected pharmaceuticals at 10 localities affected by treated effluents from sewage treatment plants was studied in several types of matrices, in juvenile fish, plasma and muscle of adult common chub (Squalius cephalus), zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) and benthic organisms. Based on the results, the highest concentrations of pharmaceuticals were found in benthic organisms and zebra mussels. The highest number of pharmaceuticals was found in benthic organisms (18 of 20 analysed) and 3 pharmaceuticals were found at all localities. The lowest number of pharmaceuticals was found in plasma and muscle of adult fish. Bílina Ústí nad Labem and Svratka Židlochovice belong to the most polluted localities. These rivers have low flows and treated wastewater from sewage treatment plants are less diluted therefore the concentration of pharmaceuticals in aquatic organisms is higher.
