5203 |aAdvances in biotechnology and the intensification of agriculture have led to major increases in the use of pharmaceutical products and other chemicals to maintain animal and human health. Freshwater ecosystems in the Montreal region and surrounding areas are subject to point and non-point sources of agricultural and industrial pollution. Surprisingly little is known about the dangers these compounds pose to freshwater ecosystems. One of the most commonly used veterinary drugs is a family of anti-parasitic compounds called avermectins. Avermectins control parasitic infections in humans, domestic pets, livestock and farmed fish. The objective of this report is to thoroughly review the known environmental impacts of avermectins and to assess the risk associated with their use in Quebec to freshwater ecosystems. Publication was made possible by the St. Lawrence Vision 2000 Action Plan, a Canada–Quebec initiative aimed at understanding, protecting and restoring the St. Lawrence ecosystem.
