Are You Drinking Water with POOP?!

Posted by: Rhona Reid On May 26, 2023 2:04 pm

Don’t shoot the messenger, but the answer is a definite maybe.

Among the cocktail of contaminants currently flowing through America’s waterways, is fecal pollution. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has estimated that municipal water contains around 0.3 grams of poop per person, every day. In a city of millions of people, that’s a lot of poop.

Posted by: Rhona Reid On April 14, 2023 2:00 pm

Scientists have identified a link between waterborne nitrate and the risk of developing prostate cancer, according to research published in recent days.  

The findings, led by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal), indicate that nitrate consumed in tap water over an average adult life can be linked to patients developing prostate cancer, and should be considered a risk factor. The research goes further, suggesting that the results are even more marked in cases of ‘aggressive tumors,’ and prostate cancer in younger men.

Philadelphia Chemical Spill: What Would You Do in a Water Emergency?

Posted by: Rhona Reid On March 31, 2023 6:40 pm

On March 24, a leak at the Trinseo Altuglas chemical facility in Bristol Township, Philadelphia caused up to 120,000 liters of latex emulsion to spill into the Delaware River. 

Concerned residents were told to continue to use tap water for the days immediately following the incident. The reason for this is the contaminated river water would take time to reach and enter the water treatment plant, and from there, the taps of local homes and businesses.
