Abstract

Analiza otpadnih voda je znanstvena disciplina koja se brzo razvija i pokazuje golem potencijal za praćenje populacijskih trendova u konzumaciji opojnih droga u realnom vremenu. Iako se analiza otpadnih voda donedavno koristila za praćenje utjecaja otpadnih voda iz kućanstava na okoliš, danas se koristi i za procjenu konzumacije opojnih droga u različitim gradovima. Analize se provode u uzorcima komunalne otpadne vode što omogućuje znanstvenicima procjenu količine konzumacije droga u zajednici mjerenjem razina opojnih droga i njihovih metabolita izlučenih u urinu. Cilj ovog rada je prezentirati metodu koja postaje sve važnija u procjeni zlouporabe opojnih droga te najnovije rezultate i trendove na tom području.

Abstract (english)

Wastewater analysis is a rapidly developing scientific discipline with the huge potential for monitoring real-time population-level trends in illicit drug use. Until recently used to monitor the environment impact of liquid household waste, the method today is also used to estimate illicit drug consumption in different cities. Analyses are being done on municipal sewage samples which allows scientists to estimate the quantity of drugs consumed in a community by measuring the levels of illicit drugs and their metabolites excreted in urine. The aim of this paper is to present this new method that's becoming very important in the assessment of illicit drug use and the newest results and trends in that area.
