Jan 1, Hexavelent Chromium

Sun, 01 Jan 2012 03:27:02 GMT

Chromium is a carcinogen that occurs naturally and is a by-product of industrial processes......even an inadvertent by-product of at least one municipal water treatment process. A time to check if your water is being tested for chromium....and if it is, if the source can be identified. Hats off to the Chemists who did the right thing and stuck with the problem until it could be identified and resolved.

Jun 19, Perspectives on fluoridation

Sun, 19 Jun 2011 17:17:30 GMT

Topical use of fluoride in toothpaste to help prevent tooth decay should be differentiated from 'medicating'water supplies with fluoride. Far more effective would be to reduce consumption of sugared drinks, wouldn't you agree?

There are worse things that find their way into our drinking water. Given proper filtration at the tap, in one's home, is a more permanent remedy wouldn't you say?

Oct 1, Drinking Water is being Lost - 6-Billion Gallons A DAY

Thu, 01 Oct 2009 10:03:05 GMT

The loss of 6-Billion gallons of water every day is becoming more noticeable....

Robert Stockham writes an insightful article as to why it would NOT be a good idea to use the Great Lakes as a resevoir for the rest of North America.

The plumbing should be repaired first.

For example, how much water is leaking from a single +60-year-old pipeline that supplies New York City?

Who knows? It hasn't been inspected since 1957. Engineers are afraid to inspect it.....because were the water to be turned-off for inspection of the 100-mile pipe, the pipeline could very well collapse.

Consider the water-pipes in your area....

It's time to become proactive in making necessary upgrades before emergency measures are necessitated. Check it out.

Sep 27, Poisoned water at US Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune?

Sun, 27 Sep 2009 02:10:15 GMT

This writer had no idea men could get breast cancer.

Apparently 1 man for every 100 women who get this horrid disease is the approximate ratio.

At Camp Lejeune, reports are that this ratio is higher.

The question is "Why?"

Considerable discussion continues to determine if contaminated (toxic) water is indeed the underlying cause.

If it happened there, it may very well be occurring elsewhere.

The results of an unbiased investigation will be very helpful.

Jan 8, Salmon Breeding in Waste Water

Here is the link to a fabulous story where an upgrade of a waste water treatment plant resulted in good, clean water being returned to the system.....in Chicago - no less!

Clean enough to breed Salmon! That's really clean.

One would wonder: Can the City of Toronto, for example, could learn from the efforts of Chicago to treat waste water with banks of ultra-violet light.
