No Surprise - Contaminated Bottled Water
This blog has been saying to be careful about bottled water and where it comes from for a long time. Here is yet another example of why.
In Marrieta, OH, the tap water for some 1,000 residents was recently found to contain high quantities of C-8, a chemical used in the manufacture of Teflon. Dupont, which operates a plant in nearby Parkersburg, W. VA, has been ordered to install filters to control the contamination as the result of a class action suit.
Meanwhile, Dupont has supplied Crystal Spring Water as a bottled water the residents could use until the filters are in place. It turns out that the Crystal Spring bottled water also tests positive for the same carcinogen, C-8!, as reported by the Associated Press, and published by the Houston Chronicle.
