#tapwater — Public Fediverse posts

💧🔬 Ah, the pursuit of the most pretentious H2O, where $120k #grants you hydrogen and oxygen atoms so "official" even #Aquaman would blush. Meanwhile, mere mortals are left wondering if they should mortgage their house for a sip of this elite liquid, or just stick with their tap water and its pedestrian 0°C freezing point. 💸💦

Anybody else in #Austin noticing the #tapwater starting to taste a little musty? I guess we're entering the period when Lake Austin gets gross from all the fertilizer leaching from West Lake lawns, eh?

„Eine handelsübliche Wasserflasche koste zwischen 80 Cent und 1 Euro, die Wasserbetriebe rechneten dagegen in Tausend-Liter-Einheiten. „Raten Sie mal, wie viel ein Liter Berliner Leitungswasser kostet: 0,0016 Euro“, sagte sie.“

Es ist Quatsch, in #Berlin #Wasser aus Frankreich zu trinken. Teurer Quatsch und umweltschädlich.

We NYers are famously snobbish about how good our tap #water is (among other things). Turns out, we're right!

Not mentioned, that water system was created by the VERY corrupt #TammanyHall political machine over a century ago.

2/ Ich löse mal auf. Das große Glas, das ganz voll war, war das Wasser aus weiß-nicht-wo und das kleine Glas, das nur drei Viertel voll war, war Leitungswasser.

Und das in unserem Restaurant, wo wir oft hingehen.

Naja, ich habe es der Wirtin bezahlt und ihr war es etwas peinlich, weil es ja nichts gekostet hat.

It's about f-ing time!!! WTF!

The #EPA is proposing that '#ForeverChemicals' be considered #hazardous substances
by Ayana ArchieFeb, 02 2024

"The Environmental Protection Agency is proposing that nine #PFAS, also known as "forever chemicals," be categorized as hazardous to human health.

"The EPA signed a proposal Wednesday that would deem the chemicals "hazardous constituents" under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.

"For the agency to consider a substance a hazardous constituent, it has to be toxic or cause cancer, genetic mutation or the malformations of an embryo. The full list of the nine substances can be found here.

"The agency cited various studies in which forever chemicals were found to cause a litany of "t#oxic effects" in humans and #animals, including, but not limited to cancer, a decreased response to vaccinations, #HighCholesterol, decrease in #fertility in women, #preeclampsia, #thyroid disorders and #asthma, the EPA said.

"Short for "per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances," PFAS cover thousands of man-made chemicals. PFAS are often used for manufacturing purposes, such as in #NonstickCookware, #adhesives, #firefighting foam, #turf and more [ex, #SkiWax].

"PFAS have been called "forever chemicals" because they break down very slowly and can accumulate in people, animals and the environment. Last summer, a study by the U.S. Geological Survey found that the man-made chemicals are present in nearly half the country's tap water supply.

"The survey tested for 32 types of PFAS, though there are more than 12,000, the USGS said, and they can pose a health threat even at very small amounts.

"In June, the chemical manufacturer 3M said it would pay about $10 billion in lawsuit settlements to help detoxify water supplies across the country, after plaintiffs claimed the company's firefighting foam and other products were responsible for contaminating #TapWater with PFAS.

"The proposed rule will be open for #PublicComment once it is uploaded to the Federal Register, under docket number EPA-HQ-OLEM-2023-0278."
