Water Number
: 77 billion barrels of contaminated “produced water” were generated worldwide in 2000 by oil and gas operations. This estimate comes from a 2003 Journal of Petroleum Technology article by Z. Khatib and P. Verbeek. In recent years this volume has increased as more and more gas is produced from marginal fields like the Marcellus Shales in Pennsylvania and the Barnett Shales in Texas and the Hilliard-Baxter-Mancos Shales in Wyoming. This water has begun to cause more and more health and environmental problems.
It’s not like this just came up on us!
We have been letting big business overule concerns about health and now we are all having to pay the price for it. From birth defects from our water supply, BPA, atrazine, arsenic and chloramines, it would seem we have traded dollars over people.
It doesn’t have to be that way, but you do have to be pro-active with the water you drink and bath with. Whether you decide to go with a whole house water filtration system or just start with either an under the sink water filter, do something to insure your family is not exposed to these health hazards.
Don’t believe me? Read the whole story here.

There is some evidence that Congress — and the Environmental Protection Agency — are rethinking their policies on a commonly used weed-killer after disclosures that the EPA failed to notify the public about high levels of the herbicide in drinking water.
For five years, the EPA has been collecting weekly tests of drinking water in about 150 watersheds, primarily in the Midwest, where farmers spray the herbicide on cornfields and other crops. The agency, however, never acted on the results. Nor had it ever published the data — until tonight. EPA officials say they have now decided to make the test results available on their Web site.

The Environmental Protection Agency today reversed its stance on the potential hazards of atrazine, one of the most commonly-used herbicides in the country, saying it will re-examine how the chemical affects human health.
In my opinion, this is just another reason that you need to take your own precautions as to your family’s health. Anything that is ingested needs to be reviewed or vetted before you provide it for your family.
In September, a published article in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives examining more than 100 scientific studies of the weed-killer. They concluded that the chemical affected the developmental, behavioral, immune, hormone, and reproductive systems of aquatic animals.
