Town employee quietly lowered fluoride in water for years
RICHMOND, Vt. (AP) — Residents of a small community in Vermont were blindsided last month by news that one official in their water department quietly lowered fluoride levels nearly four years ago, giving rise to worries about their children’s dental health...
I do water treatment and our own EPA says not to ingest water over 500ppm; globally it is 700ppm.
There are so many cities over 500ppm in WI and a couple over 700ppm. It's truly a crime.
Fluoride was the main reason why my family started drinking exclusively RO water over 10 years ago. You don’t realize the difference until you try the city water again after a while and notice the smell of chlorine. The city water quality report also shows arsenic and a bunch of other chemicals, but perhaps the most concerning is the pharmaceutical drugs that pass through in wastewater or just get dumped down the toilet. None of that is tested or filtered at the water treatment facility, nor is any of it in the report.
Absolutely. Spot. F'n. On.
The acceptable amount of arsenic and these toxic elements is 0.
Same. Ro water tastes awesome. Like a beautiful glass of nothing.
when you say city water, are you talking tap water run through an external filter? like a pitcher or one attached to the faucet?
Tap water from the faucet with no filter. A simpler carbon filter will remove that chlorine, but not much else.
where is that even acceptable? tap water is not potable water anywhere if I'm not mistaken.
RO water?
