Possible Autism Cause #938,264: Rocket Fuel (perchlorate) in Your Water?
In the news this week, the EPA sees no reason to rid drinking water of a toxic rocket fuel ingredient found in water supplies around the US. Less than shocking is that our government cares more about the Pentagon being sued than the safety of its citizens.
Rocket fuel detected in breast milk around the country? Ah … quit your worrying. Have a rocket fuel on the rocks and quit belly aching, there are bankers to rescue people!!!
I am not saying that rocket fuel in our water alone or combined with one of the bazillion other toxins we ingest; causes autism or any other neurological disorders, just if it did we would never know.
The Environmental Protection Agency has decided there’s no need to rid drinking water of a toxic rocket fuel ingredient that has fouled public water supplies around the country.
EPA reached the conclusion in a draft regulatory document not yet made public but reviewed Monday by The Associated Press.
The ingredient, perchlorate, has been found in at least 395 sites in 35 states at levels high enough to interfere with thyroid function and pose developmental health risks,particularly for babies and fetuses, according to some scientists.
No surprise as to why the “case closed, shut up” strategy is being employed again by our government.
The Pentagon could face liability if EPA set a national drinking water standard that forced water agencies around the country to undertake costly clean-up efforts.
