I really have to wonder how much of this "new" issue is natural.
Yeah, it comes from plastics, which come from chemical reactions when processing the crude to make it. You mean to tell me the same planet that can crush coal to diamonds can't create these too, and that it's all human's fault?
As usual I don't hold us blameless, but do keep a certain amount of skepticism.
Well, the thing is they don't even use chlorine, and haven't for a long time, at least in major cities.
The use a compound called "chloramine," which itself leads to nasty results.
