Read about this a few years back...amazing how long it takes the rest of the mainstream press to actually report on things like this...I guess it's not really that amazing.

Drink up..get happy!....or depressed...or...sick...or......

I thought that a scary part of the story is that some communities won't release the water test info due to post 9/11 security concerns.

We have been having some local informational meetings about water, water sources, and water contamination. It should keep getting worse and in 20 years or so we will be getting the full "benefit" of all the developments filled with homes with their own wells and septic systems--around here, in some soil types, it will take another decade or so for the water table to be noticeably and dangerously contaminated. Of course, they could make zoning changes and stricter water and septic regulations, but that would be infringing on our right to contaminate everyone's drinking water--might cause some minor personal inconveniences. This is really a scary subject, and I'm glad that it is finally receiving some national coverage.

AP probe found traces of meds in water supplies of 41 million Americans
By Jeff Donn, Martha Mendoza and Justin Pritchard
A vast array of pharmaceuticals — including antibiotics, anti-convulsants, mood stabilizers and sex hormones — have been found in the drinking water supplies of at least 41 million Americans, an Associated Press investigation shows. …
Mood swings?

Ah, there's nothing like the clear cool water of an artesian well.

The only problem we have is a bit too much sulfur, but our filter takes care of that.

[PrairieMule]

Just another reason I filter all my drinking water. I have heard half this crap gets in your lungs as well in from hot showers. Any one else considered getting a filter for their shower?

Any reliable method that we can afford to use at home to remove these trace amounts of drugs? Will reverse osmosis filter them out, or distillation? I have my doubts about single stage distillation doing an adequate job.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('smallpoxgirl', 'A')s steam cannon points out, our throughly illogical system for waste
disposal and decontamination certainly doesn't help the situation any.
Poop and urine should go onto soil. Soil bacteria would break a lot of
this stuff down before it got to the waterways. When you pee and
poop into water, the stuff doesn't have time to break down before
someone else drinks it.

')How do the drugs get into the water?

People take pills. Their bodies absorb some of the medication, but the rest of it passes through and is flushed down the toilet. The wastewater is treated before it is discharged into reservoirs, rivers or lakes. Then, some of the water is cleansed again at drinking water treatment plants and piped to consumers. But most treatments do not remove all drug residue.
