Chloroform In Flint Water !


Recommended Posts

The water that flowed through this pipe was a 151 parts per billion lead that was in February. But that wasn't the only chemical found.

 

Water Defense has been testing water at Flint homes the past three weekends, the problem is not just with the drinking water.

 

Bathing in chloroform is much more dangerous than lead, said Scott Smith from Water Defense. "Because it goes through your skin, it goes into the air and you breathe it into your lungs."

 

Water defense says their tests are finding chloroform and other carcinogens.

 

"It's absolutely incomprehensible to me that you could say it's okay to bathe and shower in," he said.

 

In a statement from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, "It is still safe to bathe in unfiltered tap water." http://www.fox2detroit.com/news/local-news/102161944-story

Chloroform is an organic compound with formula CHCl3. It is a colorless, sweet-smelling, dense liquid that is produced on a large scale as a precursor to PTFE and refrigerants, but the latter application is declining.[3] It is one of the four chloromethanes and a trihalomethane.[3] wiki
