Pharmaceuticals In Your Water?
Pharmaceuticals have been found in the water ways and ground water in Los Angeles & its surrounding communities.
Yes, it’s true, a recent report in the evening news stated that studies conducted by an independent “watch dog” group detected a variety of pharmaceutical drugs in the water in and around Los Angeles.
Pharmaceuticals found in the water include:
• Estrogen
• Acetomeniphen
• Ibuprofen
• Muscle Relaxors
• Anti depressants
You may be asking yourself this question: Why hasn’t the local government or the water companies themselves discovered any of these substances in our water?
Answer: Local government and municipal water companies are not required to test for these substances in our water. They are only required to test the water for a small list of contaminants in our water. Of course, they only check for the bare minimum of what is required.
I don’t know about you, but if I am going to take drugs, I want to do it of my own free will; not because I am forced to. The implications run far and wide as to why or how these substances got into our water.
Those of you that know me personally are aware of the fact that I am against the widespread use of pharmaceuticals. These findings are very disturbing to me.
This is one of the many reason why you need to have a good water filtration system for your house.
I know that many of you reading this post do not live in the L.A. basin, but similar findings may be found in your water ways. Remember, local municipalities are not required to test for pharmaceuticals in your water.
I hope you found this post of interest to you.
