personally, news like this makes me even more paranoid than i already am. i think about government, you know? for example, in v for vendetta, the newpaper articles, "10,000 DIE FROM POISONED WATER" type headings. sshhh. i can hear them coming. be quiet.
I had read this in the NY papers back in the 60's so I can't say exactly when or which paper. It has something to do with the way the water reclamation and waste treatment systems work and how they don't work when overloaded.I am not sure but I think that I also heard something about an instance like this in the book "The Female Eunuch" by Germaine Greer. I didn't read the book, so I can't be 100% sure just remember someone talking about it. Hate to be so vague but it was about 40 years ago when I first heard of it and never forgot about it.
Worring about it wont help. taking action is the best action. There are ways people can purify the water they drink. There are portable devices and many other devices. Reverse osmosis takes many of the dissolved solids out of the water. this sort of thing will continue to make the news.
Digg This:I have been suffering with Schizo-affective disorder for over twenty (20) years and have regular checks on my urine to quantify the amount of the medication my body is using. The minuscule trace amounts that are found will in no way create the PPB you are talking about in these 25 metro areas. It would take hundreds of years and trillions of people utilizing the very same drug to compound the number amounts you are trying to quantify by passing them off onto the user. This is at best a shield to cover drug companies and drug stores who on a regular basis simply Flush the out of date medications down the toilet. I received an E-mail alert from my Doctor to take my expired medications to the Local drug store to have properly disposed of. To my surprise they told me to go home and flush them down my toilet, which was completely contrary to what my Doctor told me to do. I know that the FDA regulates the hospital for hazardous waste disposal including medications, which must by FDA regulations be incinerated. I am firmly convinced that if the EPA and FDA inspected any drug store of choice and asked for their incineration logs for expired medications none could produce one and if they could it would not be able to be verified. As to my visit to the Local drug store in my town, when I asked of how they dispose of outdated medications they said quite freely; "Oh, we just FLUSH THEM DOWN THE TOILET!"Dismayed I still have countless outdated meds in my cabinet not knowing where I should take them for proper disposal.-pyper1

This means you are drinking recycled sewer water.
