For the first time, test results are now available on whether the drug 3-CMC is present in Gävleborg's wastewater. Both the police and the municipality have sounded the alarm that the "crystal drug" has taken hold among young people.
The wastewater in all of the county's treatment plants, except in Nordanstig where the substrate is considered to be too small, has been tested. Häggström believes the wastewater analyses are important because they give an honest idea of drug use.
