Product Description
Since 2021, the Home Office Wastewater Analysis Programme (WWAP) has taken samples from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) across England and Scotland. These have been used to calculate the quantity consumed of several key illicit drug types.
The WWAP utilises wastewater analysis, which is a method used internationally, to provide robust and timely estimates of drug consumption in England and Scotland.
Wastewater has been sampled from 16 WWTPs (covering 18% of England’s population) between January and April 2023 and between January and April 2024. Overall consumption estimates (measured in milligrams per 1,000 people per day) from these 2 periods in these areas have been compared.
