南塔基特废水中的可卡因水平是2025年7月至2025年12月全国平均水平的三倍,10月达到高峰。 Cocaine levels in Nantucket wastewater were three times the national average from July 2025 to December 2025, peaking in October.

从2025年7月至2026年2月在南塔基特进行的废水测试发现,可卡因含量始终比全国平均水平高三倍,10月达到每升近3 000纳米的峰值,到12月一直升高,直至下降。 Wastewater testing on Nantucket from July 2025 to February 2026 revealed cocaine levels consistently three times higher than the national average, peaking at nearly 3,000 nanograms per liter in October and remaining elevated through December before declining. 这些数据是通过Surfside废水处理设施从岛上约70%的人口中每小时收集的,由Biobot分析器作为每年30 000美元的公共卫生监测方案的一部分进行分析。 The data, collected hourly from about 70% of the island’s population via the Surfside Wastewater Treatment Facility, is analyzed by Biobot Analytics as part of a $30,000 annual public health monitoring program. 虽然可卡因水平居高不下,但芬太尼、甲基安非他明、苯丙胺和处方类阿片等其他药物仍保持在或低于国家平均水平。 While cocaine levels stayed high, other drugs including fentanyl, methamphetamine, xylazine, and prescription opioids remained at or below national averages. 官员指出,高值读数可能不会表明使用量增加,可能是由于毒品处置或酒精消费影响新陈代谢。 Officials note that elevated readings may not indicate increased use, possibly due to drug disposal or alcohol consumption affecting metabolism. 该系统还帮助检测了早期流感爆发的情况,镇领导人计划在出现持续吸毒趋势时向卫生和执法伙伴发出警告。 The system has also helped detect early flu spikes, and town leaders plan to alert health and law enforcement partners if sustained drug use trends emerge.
