ITV News used the data from Watershed to reveal the scale of pollution in England's waterways:

"A cocktail of almost 500 different chemicals, some of which are banned and almost half of which are classed as "very toxic" or "harmful", have been found in English waters.

One of the substances found in England's waterways was a banned, carcinogenic "forever chemical".

Also among the chemicals discovered were cocaine, ketamine and caffeine.

The survey of more than 170 river and groundwater catchments has been analysed by Watershed Investigations on behalf of ITV News

Environmental groups have called chemical pollution a silent killer in our waterways and experts have likened one of the pollutants, Imidacloprid, to "novichok for insects"."
