WaterGate 2008

This is why I dont swim in the ocean and drink tap water:


According to a recent report from the Associated Press, here is what you will find in the water of certain cities in America.
Philadelphia: 56 pharmaceuticals or pharmaceutical byproducts, including medicines used to treat pain, infection, high cholesterol, asthma, epilepsy, mental illness and heart problems.
New York City: Heart medication, infection fighters, estrogen, anti-convulsants, a mood stabilizer and a tranquilizer.

New Orleans: Pain reliever naproxen, sex hormone estrone and the byproduct of an anti-cholesterol drug.

Southern California Watershed: Anti-epileptic and anti-anxiety medications.
Northern New Jersey: Metabolized angina medicine and the mood-stabilizing drug carbamazepine.

Tests were conducted in 35 of 62 major U.S. watersheds, the natural sources of most of the nation's water supply. Pharmaceuticals were detected in 28 of them.
One word: WOW!

The levels found were supposedly well under levels that could do overt harm, but what are the long term affects? I guess I am going to start a bottled water company.
