Proposed revision to arsenic drinking water standard

[Guest guest]

Please note the date on this EPA document for arsenic (June 22, 2000).

ALSO NOTE that the changes are being lowered by 10 times the current

standards from 50 ppb (parts per BILLION) to 5 ppb. When someone tells

you that your dead or autistic or sick child is OK with the toxic levels

that they have remember the acceptable toxic levels are being lowered

every day, and the current acceptable toxic levels are not reality. If

the acceptable levels of a toxic substance kills the child is that

OK????!!!!!!!!! Counting rules are OK for people that can count. I

can not; I will accept the only toxic level that I can understand for

myself, and that is zero.

The EPA report we got on arsenic years ago said what little testing had been

done on arsenic just confused things more because a lethal dose to one person

could sometimes show no negative affects on another. It was a 150 page book

that basically concluded that they had no idea about the affects of arsenic

-- comforting, huh?

Just got back from visiting relatives who were overwhelmed at how much Curtis

has grown and progressed over the past year. Amazing how much a body can

catch up when it's not battling poison and digesting food . He is catching

up radically now -- outgrowing clothes almost daily and getting heavier all

the time.
