I hate to beat a dead horse, but did you even read the link? From the very first sentence:

I think the arsenic is coming from all the dead whale bodily fluid runoff.

Oh, wait. He's now in Alberquerque. Never mind.

The real question is what is the micron size of the filter? You'd need a filter which is smaller then the diameter of the Arsenic molecules other wise the Arsenic will just flow through just like salts do. Of course if Arsenic is smaller in size then H2O then, also like salt ions, RO won't help remove them at all.

Clinton signed regulations demanding that Arsenic levels in drinking water be drastically cut in order to protect people from the long term risk of cancer. Bush sided with industry (as always) and not only reversed Clinton's stricter standards but even lowered the old one.

That is how Bush put more Arsenic in people's drinking water. I'm happy he's reversing course now but that's still five years late and I wonder if it just restores the original levels or if it enacts the stricter Clinton levels.

Cite?

Because everything else you said was wrong, why should I take your word for it anyway.

You know, it took me all of five minutes of research to learn this:

a. Despite your contention, Clinton's EO was to take effect in 2006. So is the new EPA ruling. Did you not see my earlier post that stated just those points?
b. 50 ppb was the earlier standard, the standard that existed during the entirety of the Clinton administration, unchanged (and unnoticed) by him until a month before leaving office. Oh, and 10 ppb is the later standard, the one he Executive Ordered into law, with no debate, no chance for our elected representatives to vote on the measure.
c. Bush's proposal was to roll-back to the original, Clinton-era standards. On all the regulations. Not "make new ones", just roll them back to the standards that no one *****ed about during the 90s.

Not yet, In a few weeks
Im having trouble getting a kennel for my dog.


The tap water up here in Barrow is some of the cleanest in the world, I looked but couldnt find the water quality report online.

For those of you suggesting I drink beer or bottled water, you are clearly ignorant. Beer and bottled water comes from municipal sources just like tap water, and worse is that you dont know where it came from. It could actually be worse for you then your tap water.

Also Im not really too worried, its just that the healthier I can be the better.
