Environmental Nightmare! Dozens Of Highly Toxic Substances Have Been Found In Tap Water All Over America<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

\"\"After reading this article, you will never look at tap water the same way again.\u00a0 Most Americans have generally assumed that the water coming out of our taps is perfectly safe, but the Flint water crisis and other similar incidents are starting to help people to understand that there are some very dangerous substances in our water.\u00a0 In particular, I am talking about things like arsenic, lead, atrazine, perchlorate and a whole host of pharmaceutical drugs.\u00a0 According to an absolutely stunning NRDC report<\/a>, close to 77 million Americans received their water from systems \u201cthat violated federal protections\u201d in 2015.\u00a0 And even if you get your water from a system that meets federal standards, that still does not mean that it is safe.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start by talking about arsenic.\u00a0 Earlier today I came across an article that talked about how levels of arsenic in the water at some schools in the San Joaquin Valley \u201cexceed the maximum federal safety levels by as much as three times\u201d<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

Reef-Sunset Unified School District Superintendent David East is worried about water. Not because of the drought\u2014record rains this past winter ended five years of dry times. Rather, East, whose district encompasses the small towns of Avenal and Kettleman City on the San Joaquin Valley\u2019s west side, is worried about the safety of the water that the 2,700 students in his school district are being given to drink.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s because arsenic levels in the drinking water at some schools in the San Joaquin Valley exceed the maximum federal safety levels by as much as three times<\/a>. And arsenic is not the only threat to schoolchildren. High levels of pesticides, nitrate, bacteria, and naturally occurring uranium also contaminate groundwater in many rural parts of the state.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
