Fluoxetine is found in Lake Erie is at a very low - about one nanogram per liter of water, said Mauro. "There seems to be at a level that would be harmful to humans, and invertebrates, for that matter, but he suspects that Mauro fluoxetine combined with other chemicals could have a cumulative effect on the ecosystem of the lake.
