It's the things that that water come in contact with while we use it that, all too often, remain with it long after we rinse or flush it away.<BR/><BR/>For some time now (well over a decade) we have known that, not only do household cleaning and personal care products contaminate our sewage, but trace amounts of the pharmaceutical products we (and our pets)ingest do as well.<BR/><BR/>Many of these compounds are highly resistant to biological degradation -- they remain in the water for a stunningly long time -- even as it moves through the hydrologic cycle. Studies have shown detectable concentrations of dozens of pharmaceutical products in surface water bodies in remote alpine areas on at least three continents.<BR/><BR/>Oil may be the commodity that is currently of most concern to us, but I suspect that water will not be far behind.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732486.post-64300856864979981072008-08-25T17:52:00.000-07:002008-08-25T17:52:00.000-07:00Russ,That was Canada via Whole Foods.
