There are several professors here at the Northern Arizona University that have published research regarding the effects of wastewater on animals. They have found extreme levels of various pharms and high levels of hormones in the water that can cause various birth defects. These professors are chemists and biochemists (NAU has a really good research program and research faculty regarding chemistry and biochemistry). There have been published peer reviewed studies showing that wastewater is not good. Would you drink piss water? I agree that it does no good bitching. I have submitted my reply to the EIS that was published on a study regarding adding water to the mountain (its ecological and chemical effects). The study was done in 2 years, so that is pretty bogus. Effects take a while to show. I am also an avid ecologists and had my two cents to put in on the EIS (that is an environmental impact statement). So, there you go. I am very active regarding this issue and have read lots of scientific and anthropological papers (most of which are peer reviewed). Don't underestimate me kronik. And that website, different cities do different treatments to the water. The city of Flagstaff does not test for pharms or hormones. Plus, would you believe everything that a city who is money hungry tells you? I will find a link to that research I am talking about regarding research done on reclaimed water here at NAU. Thanks for the reply!

"Concentrations of OWCs detected in
finished water generally were low and did not exceed Federal drinking-water standards or lifetime health advisories,
although such standards or advisories have not been established for most of these compounds.Also, at least 11 and
as many as 17 OWCs were detected in samples of finished water.Drinking-water criteria currently are based on the
toxicity of individual compounds and not combinations of compounds.Little is known about potential human-health
effects associated with chronic exposure to trace levels of multiple OWCs through routes such as drinking water.The
occurrence in drinking-water supplies of many of the OWCs analyzed for during this study is unregulated and most of these compounds have not been routinely monitored for in the Nationâ??s source- or potable-water supplies.This
study provides the first documentation that many of these compounds can survive conventional water-treatment
processes and occur in potable-water supplies."

This was a study done in march of 2004 by several scientists who work for the US Geological Survey (USGS). It indicates that there are interactions we have no clue about. And, that our testing standards suck. I can make a word document of the whole study for you (this is to Kronik and anyone else interested). It is wordy and full of scientific jiberish that probably only a select few understand, but the implications are what drew me in. Chew on this for a bit. The name of the paper is "Persistence of pharmaceutical compounds and other organic
wastewater contaminants in a conventional drinking-watertreatment
plant". Look it up on the net. OWC means organic wastewater contaminants. Peace to all...

ok...i dont really care about the water thing...i was just saying.

even though u try to do something about it...nothting ever changes, so ill ask u again.....why bother? ill underestimate anyone who does something for no reason.

[cortezbuddha]

Ahh, but there is a reason. I hold Mother Earth sacred. So why would a christian save there church from a fire? I am sorry about being overbearing on the issue. I like people to feel like they know more from an experience. And if no one did anything, then we would live in a shitty world. Think about the Green movement in the 60's. If that didn't happen, which took lots of believers and earth worshipers, then we would have twice logged over forests with nothing but bare exposed hurt earth.

[kronick]

im not talking about what happened then...im talking about whats happening now. you try and get shit changed...nothing happens...hence....what you are trying to do it for nothing. its like the christian running into that burning church to save the priest...and then the church colapses on him/her. so once more time(hopefully)...whats the point?

dont get me wrong...i love the earth with all of my being...but the people who control it dont...and the only thing we can do about it really, is vote...and even then, the morons we vote for still wont do shit but they do other good things. so we need those morons and eventually someone good will come around and try to help the planet. eg. the canadian government...we kick ass!

[cortezbuddha]

Well, I am kinda glad that I care enough to TRY to do something. I feel like a much better person because of it. If you don't, then great. I could really care less. But think about the opposite of the situation you set for me. What happens if the priest is saved, then wasn't the time well spent? You only provide one side of the story. But, by assessing your age, which I am only a year and some odd months older, you haven't experienced life yet. You must really not know why activism is a plus in society (esp. US society). I don't know what it is like in Canada, but if you don't do anything here, then you will just get stepped on. Persistence is key. Without it, nothing gets done. And also, because those morons in office don't know a tree from their asshole, we lay people have got to do something about it. Twidling our thumbs is not a very feasable option. Be active, care, and something will happen, believe me.

[kronick]

i do fucking give a shit about this planet. i would give my life for her in a heartbeat. like u said...ur only a year and a bit older than me...and if i kno thats not enough time between us for you to assume that you have experianced more "life" than i have. prove that wrong.

and i do understand when u say "What happens if the priest is saved, then wasn't the time well spent?" im stupid for neglecting that aspect of it. now all i have to do it think of a better analogy on what im trying to say. now im just too lazy to type anymore so ill just respond to what ever you have to say next.
