Over two years of testing uncovered at least 50 pesticides and their metabolites, some even more concentrated in treated water than in the river. Scientists warn of a dangerous “cocktail effect” when these chemicals mix, potentially increasing toxicity. While not urging panic, they call for stricter regulations like those in Europe and improved water treatment. Experts note food remains a bigger source of pesticide exposure, but the researchers argue tackling agricultural use at the source is the real long-term fix. The Quebec government says it monitors pesticide levels and works to reduce use—but the study suggests current methods may miss peak contamination times.
