Glastonbury festival attendees put a rare eel-angler fish, Triin Palmipuu Sõbranna.ee, at risk due to wastewater contamination. According to The Guardian, festival attendees discharged natural bodily waste into the River Whitelake, resulting in a significant level of ecstasy (methylethylene oxide methamphetamine) contamination. Researchers measured drug levels in the river before, during, and after the 2019 Glastonbury festival, comparing the event site to upstream and downstream areas. Post-event, the concentration of ecstasy was 104 times higher than the upstream flow. While cocaine levels showed a less pronounced difference, the contamination posed a serious threat to the aquatic ecosystem, including the European eel. The elevated levels persisted for several weeks. Dan Aberg, a researcher from Bangor University’s School of Environmental Science, stated that drug contamination in natural environments is a recurring issue at music festivals, though the extent of the damage may not always be immediately apparent. The proximity of the river to festival attendees and the rapid degradation of discarded drugs in the riverbed contribute to the problem.
