“Air pollution has long been a fact of life in Spanish cities. But scientists now say it is not just smog that fills people’s lungs as they walk to work or stroll through the park. A new study has found the air in Madrid and Barcelona is also laced with large amounts of drugs – most prominently cocaine. Other illegal substances found were amphetamines, heroin, cannabis and LSD. Government experts from the Superior Council of Scientific Investigations said the levels were far higher than elsewhere in Europe. Researchers found cocaine in concentrations of up to 850 picograms per cubic metre of air.” w/ photos
