Invest Billions of $$$$ into DWSD

The topic of Contaminants in Drinking Water is not exactly hidden in journals/research;
scientists have know about it for quite a while - there isn't any MONEY to clean it up.

Last year, a group of researchers detected drugs in the Great Lakes at levels high enough to be "of environmental concern," according to a study that found traces of acetaminophen, codeine, antibiotics, hormones, steroids, and anti-epileptic compounds, and dozens of other chemicals.


Also last year, another group concluded that they’d found evidence of a "global environmental issue" after discovering widespread neuro-active compounds, including antidepressants, anti-seizure compounds, and mood stabilizers, in 24 Minnesota rivers.


In February, Environment Canada officials told a Senate committee hearing that more than 165 individual pharmaceuticals and personal care products have been identified in water samples, as of this year.


The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, World Health Organization, and European Union Council together currently regulate more than 120 drinking water contaminants.
But even regulated chemicals carry some uncertainty because new information requires questioning and possibly revising limits.
Emerging chemical contaminants also generate concern because little to nothing is known about their potential health effects, much less the levels at which those would occur.
Likewise, contaminant mixtures may pose greater threats than their individual components.

Feel free to think its all okay, put on the blinders, keep walking to Happy Land

There are hundreds of articles about the Bush Administration regarding UN-Clean Water

You should think about joining Happy Land. Its quite nice here -- with ever-increasing life expectancy -- better water -- more recycling -- and more renewable energy.

Keep working to make things better. You can still do that from Happy Land too.

Be Happy.
