THE ways people get rid of used medication and chemical household products could be doing untold harm to the River Foss, a conservation group has warned.
Medicine thrown away in household bins or flushed down toilets along with garden pesticides and cleaning products, are among those polluting the waterway, according to the River Foss Society.
The group said foam on the surface of the river from detergents and oil film from car wax and polishes were also examples of the impact household waste is having.
