Nearly HALF of tap water in U.S. is laced with hormone-warping
'forever chemicals' linked to cancer and infertility, major
government study finds - with worst-hit areas in Cali, Eastern
Seaboard, Great Lakes and Great Plains
Government scientists detected toxic PFAS in 45 percent of
US water sources
. . .
Ummmmm ... professional doom-sayers again ?
More like LAWYERS - I've already seen ads
from them ....
Thing is, these chemicals have been around in
large quantities since the mid 40s/early 50s.
No mutant babies. No LACK or babies by and
large either. This is the whole "boomer"
generation on. Turned 'em all into effete
hippies ? Seem to remember an Evangelical
and neo-con movement in there too ......
Note the scientific word on these things is
"MAY cause hormonal disruption" (rarely
quantified though). That's more than enough
for the LAWYERS though. They see another
gigantic cash-extraction coming up, like
asbestos but so much more .
BTW, the stuff is NEVER gonna go away, so
sue or don't sue it's STILL gonna be here
a LOT longer than any blood-money for it.
You can clean up asbestos, but these chems
are in *everything*.
