Radioactive waste contaminating Canadian water supply

From the department of super scary…Could there be anything more frightening than the idea of using water polluted with radioactive waste? If you could stomach it, excerpt and link follows.

Nuclear facilities and power plants are contaminating local Canadian food and water with radioactive waste that increases risks of cancer and birth defects, says a new report to be released on Friday.

The report, Tritium on Tap, produced by the Sierra Club of Canada, warned that radioactive emissions from various nuclear plants across the country have more than doubled over the past decade. The figures were based on statistics compiled by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission which measured pollution coming from the plants.

Right response on public water

Healthy Water has taken up the issue of chlorinated water in other pages - Click for our page on chlorinated water

Briefly, chlorine is bad for you but the stuff that chlorine kills is worse for you. So, be thankful that chlorine is deposited in your water system and then filter it out right before you use the water. Excerpt and link follow.

After Alamosa's drinking water became contaminated last year, the state of Colorado wisely revoked dozens of waivers that allowed other public drinking water systems to go unchlorinated.

The public health emergency that erupted when salmonella sickened hundreds and killed one person in Alamosa is a harsh reminder of why disinfecting public water supplies is sound public policy — no matter how pure the natural resource may seem.

What the frack? Poisoning our water in the name of energy profits

No real surprise that our efforts to meet energy demands often results in water contamination. Excerpt and link follow.

Here is your word for the day: Fracking or fraccing. [No, fellow Battlestar Galactica fans, this is a different use of the word "frack," although for some, the sentiment is the same.]

Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is a technique that releases natural gas trapped in underground shale formations by injecting water, chemicals, and sand to "frack" the rock structures and release the gas. Often, large quantities of groundwater contaminated by chemicals, radioactive elements, or other minerals are produced in the process. Unless great care is taken, this "produced water" mixed with water used for fracturing can flow to the surface or into groundwater systems and contaminate land, drinking water supplies, and natural waterways.
