218 Million American's Tap Water Contains Chromium 6!

REF the Health Ranger's Tweet today :!:


218 million Americans at risk of having chromium 6 in their drinking water. :oops:

Here is an interactive map of America and her countys to check ppm readings in test samples in your county.

There's really nothing to see here since you normally drink bottled water anyway. But the multitude of supposed
safe sources of bottled H20 is always on our minds. :confused:

Dated September 20, 2016

The article begins......

In the film "Erin Brockovich," the environmental crusader confronts the lawyer of a power company that polluted the tap water of Hinkley, Calif., with a carcinogenic chemical called chromium-6. When the lawyer picks up a glass of water, Brockovich says: “We had that water brought in ‘specially for you folks. Came from a well in Hinkley.”

The lawyer sets down the glass and says, "I think this meeting’s over."

But almost 25 years after that real-life confrontation,[1] the conflict over chromium-6 is not over. A new EWG analysis of federal data from nationwide drinking water tests shows that the compound contaminates water supplies for more than 200 million Americans in all 50 states. Yet federal regulations are stalled by a chemical industry challenge that could mean no national regulation of a chemical state scientists in California and elsewhere say causes cancer when ingested at even extraordinarily low levels.



The standoff is the latest round in a tug-of-war between scientists and advocates who want regulations based strictly on the chemical’s health hazards and industry, political and economic interests who want more relaxed rules based on the cost and feasibility of cleanup. If the industry challenge prevails, it will also extend the Environmental Protection Agency’s record, since the 1996 landmark amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act, of failing to use its authority to set a national tap water safety standard for any previously unregulated chemical.[2]

This is another fine example of another 3 letter agency failing itself and all Americans due to self rule :?: :oops:
