pan-Asia pinglist.* This pinglist covers a broad range of topics relating to Asia: culture, current events, politics, science, history, arts, etc. Warning: This could be a moderate/high volume pinglist. Note: This pinglist generally does not cover topics pertaining to soutwestern Asia (the Middle East); there are already a couple of moderate volume pinglists for that region of the world. Ping if you see a pertinent thread. |

Hasn’t it occurred to these intellectuals that the arsenic has probably been in the drinking water for centuries? So how can it be called a “time bomb?”

They probably used 'timebomb' to make the title more sensational.
Agree with you, but now they've found arsenic in their water, they should try to get the poison out of what they drink and grow their food with.

Do the modern filtration purification systems filter it out, or not?

Yes. Its levels in the public water supply are controlled.

This no doubt a call for more government regulation.

Reminiscent of the DDT fiasco. Just another attempt by the lamestream media to keep emotions at a fever pitch and further their favorite these that the sky is falling and we’re all doomed.
To: Clara Lou
So, the reverse osmosis systems on well water would filter it out well?

Living is simply dangerous to our health.

This sux. One of the great joys in my life has been shopping at the ethnic markets in my town and cooking authentic foods from various places. Now grains from India/Bangladesh are off the table.

"Good thing I don’t like rice." Most rice sold in the US comes from Louisiana and Texas. No problems there.

We have a well - should we get our water tested, I wonder?

Arsenic in the water is not a serious contender for the Global Warming follow-on. They are looking for something SUVs emit such as mall shoppers and soccer players.

“The UK’s Food Standards Agency is currently assessing whether this level of consumption carries any risk. “
So let’s freak everyone out and put this disclaimer at the END of the article.
