..such as sex hormones and drugs to treat mental illnesses and dozens of others in our very own drinking water.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080309/ap_on_...s/pharmawater_i if you read that article and your worried. i suggest you start buying aquafina bottled waters cuz they're the only company i know that use reverse osmosis purification..i read one of their articles a while back saying their state of the art purifacation system removes many things that might be in other waters..i suspect they might have known about those traces of drugs in the water before this article. |

long thread titles make nobody cares about topics like these. ^ You stand corrected. QUOTE hey, you paranoid dumbasses, we do this to ourselves by consuming drugs in the first place, unless you seriously belive the government's secretly pouring this shit into our water on purpose, in which case it'd be a stupid waste of time 'cause the amount of trace chemicals in tap water are minute. they might as well put truckloads if they wanna kill you off that way. you guys are making it the same conspiracy hype as having fluoride in tap water. They're not purposely doing it. Well some people actually need prescription meds cuz they're actaully sick ya know. And this isn't one chemical, this is numbers possibly dozens of different drugs in our water that react with each other. |

And this isn't one chemical, this is numbers possibly dozens of different drugs in our water that react with each other. of course i'm aware that consumation of prescribed drugs is important. duh, i'm one of the people contributing to this "problem" since i take allergy meds and analgesics often. women perhaps contribute the higher percentage 'cause of unmetabolized birth control pills. my point is that we (as a species) are responsible for this, and it's highly unplausable that this is a government conspiracy to poison its own people -_-". the beauty of water is that it's a natural universal solvent. it would take decades, or even centuries for the water to be dangerously saturated with the amount of drugs we're disposing of currently. short term, we'll be fine. it's a long term problem. it's been a long term concern for years now, especially in europe. i don't understand why it's suddenly big news, when the industry has known about this and should have done something about it a long time ago. then again, i could understand the delay in research, due to the complexity that is organic chemistry. i'm sure the water purifying companies have actively been trying to come up with a solution, or at the very least, proposals. |

Well we technically do need population control, whether people agree to it or not. |
