Description
Suleiman Dauda leads a 2026 study of ivermectin, a drug used against parasites in livestock and people, once it reaches water. The drug can enter rivers and ponds through animal waste. The team tested it with low and full nitrogen levels on three kinds of phytoplankton, tiny floating algae that feed water life.
Drug and nitrogen together mostly did not change algal mass. With full nitrogen, the mix raised signs of cell stress yet also pushed all three species to higher cell counts. With low nitrogen, one species, Microcystis flos-aquae, grew stressed and made more microcystins, toxins that can harm water users.
