the public "doesn't know how to interpret the information" and might be unduly alarmed.

Can you say stampeed once the nitwits who purchase bottled water (** most brands bottled from tap water in NJ) realize they sucking down all kinds of drugs daily???

**I know this happy fact because in 2003 I had to argue with my professor about my grade in an advertising class. He thought it was un-American of me to point out that nitwit consummers would actually purchase tap water if it was bottled nicely... chuckle !!! I got an A.

Is this the same as drugs in the drinking water, an earlier thread?

Old cavalry wisdom. Put the latrines downstream and get the water upstream. Keep the horses in-between.

"To be sure, the concentrations of these pharmaceuticals are tiny"

I think that story would rate a "to be sure" monkey from Laura Ingraham.

It doesn’t say if the pharms have broken down to the point where it virtually has no effect. Are they intact or are they finding traces of the individual chemicals that make up a pharm?

Makes me glad I have a well. Not perfect, but better than recycled clorinated water.

Yo, I was one of those nitwits ten years ago that bought bulk Evian.

Right now, I’m on a well - SILT ALERT!!!

--A sex hormone was detected in San Francisco's drinking water.

Big surprise there with all the transexuals here. LOL!

"nitwits who purchase bottled water"

Nit wits don't buy bottled water, they buy convenience, same as smart people. One would have to be less than a nitwit not to know that.

A sex hormone was detected in San Francisco's drinking water.

Why am I not surprised.

Call me when it gets into the Scotch supply.

This does not necessarily show that there are more pharmaceuticals in the drinking water now than 20 or 40 years ago.

There may or may not be.

Analytical equipment is constantly improving detection limits (DL). When I started my career many years ago parts per million was the typical DL. Later, in the early late '80's and early '90's, parts per billion was the standard. Now, parts per trillion or even parts per quadrillion are not uncommon.

A part per trillion or part per quadrillion in drinking water will have absolutely no effect on you.

Drink up.

Most water is bottled regionally. I’ve thankfully NEVER seen water bottled in New Jersey. All the water I’m familar with comes from my state.

Re: Pharmaceuticals Found in Drinking Water

Gadzooks! This is common knowledge... like there being a certain tiny level of rat manure in Ball Park Franks and minute traces of human urine in Corona beer, but we eat and drink them anyway!
