Chromium 6 – Deadly Killer In 75% of Drinking Water
Chromium 6 has raised its ugly head again.Recent news reports reveal that seventy (75%) five percent of America’s drinking water is now contaminated with this horror, just lurking unknown to innocent consumers who are drinking water from faucets and other drinking water sources.
This substance is a deadly cancer-causing chemical highlighted by the movie Erin Brockovich. Chromium 6 health effects have become notoriously famous. One would think that after the tremendous amount of exposure given via the movie, various news media, and other information outlets, strong efforts would have been taken to remove this vile threat to human health.
HERES THE SHOCKING TRUTH!
Unfortunately, that has not occurred. The Chromium 6 cancer reality has now shown up as being a health care concern for some 218 million Americans. That’s more than half of the entire U.S. population.
EWG, a well-known and respected nonprofit research organization, analyzed Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) data on more than 60,000 samples collected at water utilities in all 50 states between 2013 and 2015. The agency based its research in large part on the standards set for the limits of chromium 6 in drinking water set by the State of California in 2014, which is the only drinking water standard for this chemical in the entire nation. EWG’s analysis found 1,370 U.S. county water supplies with chromium-6 levels above California’s benchmark.
EWG found that Oklahoma, Arizona, and California have the highest statewide averages of this deadly chemical. Phoenix has the highest of any city by far, followed by St. Louis and Houston with comparatively high levels.
According to Dr. Lynn Goldman, former EPA assistant administrator of toxic substances under President Bill Clinton, in an interview by PBS NewsHour. “There should be no carcinogen in water,” “The overall problem here is, what does it take for EPA to speed up its standard-setting process?”
Therein lays the problem. The EPA, the so-called watchdog of our nation’s quality of drinking water, apparently doesn’t think chromium 6 is enough of a threat to our nation’s drinking water to do anything about it, despite the fact that substantial evidence shows that sufficient levels of this chemical are in our water system that could be harmful over a period of time of ingesting it.
Make no mistake about it, America’s drinking water systems are under siege from a host of directions, including old lead pipes that are burdened with carrying water from municipal water systems to household faucets and leaching lead into the water along the way, chemicals dumped into drinking water rivers and reservoirs by industrial manufacturing processes, harmful substances running off from farm production and a host of other sources that contribute to contamination in drinking water systems.
Take a look at the video below and you decide for yourself what you should do. Ask Yourself. Is my water safe?
What’s the solution?
The solution is clear. Every household and every responsible individual have to take personal responsibility for themselves and their loved ones to diligently guard and make safe the drinking water that is consumed.
If you think drinking bottled water is a safe and smart alternative, think again. Become aware of what the bottled water companies don’t want you to know.
