Re: Pelandok for your reference on natural lake water

You mean all the tap water down under are "water purified thru evaporation" ????
Or the water are also from the river ?

read carefully what I posted.
"water purified thru evaporation is 100% pure."
did I posted that river water is pure ?

you mean the water from river don't have harmful chemicals?

*** water is purified thru filtration. it has been

get thru the membrane.

there is no possibility of chemical getting in the
way.
singapore should have chosen desalination
rather than filtering *** water.

You must be reminded that since the

somebody or animal excretion,
all water have been going thru somebody or animal's
kidney many many time times. There is
no NEW WATER. all water have been sirculating thru
kidneys millions of time.

Levels of PCBs, methyl mercury and dioxins in many Great Lakes fish,
such as salmon, rainbow trout, walleye, pike and lake trout are too
high for human consumption, according to a new report called Up to the
Gills: Pollution in Great Lakes Fish, by Environmental Defence, a
Canadian conservation group. Despite some falls in contamination
levels in certain parts of the Great Lakes, the report states that
serious problems still exist and seems to be getting worse.
The number of public health warnings regarding the consumption of fish
from Lake Ontario has increased significantly over the last few years,
where eight categories of fish became more contaminated between 2005
and 2007 and only one category improved. Of concern are also Lake
Huron, Lake Erie and even supposedly clean Lake Superior. The report
said that such is the extent of the problem "that human health is
threatened".
The report compared the fish advisories published by the Ontario
Ministry of the Environment for four species of fish in 13 locations
across the Great Lakes in 2005 and 2007. Many categories of fish are
now somewhat or completely unfit for human consumption while others
are becoming so.
The report estimates that approximately 50,000 tons of industrial
pollutants are pouring into the Great Lakes annually.
Aaron Freeman, Policy Director of Environmental Defence, said "While
fish remains a healthy choice for consumers, toxic contamination
levels suggest that we are still treating the Great Lakes as a toxic
waste dump. We are clearly not doing enough to protect this vital
ecosystem. We need stronger pollution regulations and a real plan from
the federal and provincial governments to clean up the Lakes."
The main pollutants that cause public warnings are:
-- Mercury
-- PCBs
-- Pesticides
-- Dioxins
-- Furans
These chemicals can damage our nervous, respiratory and immune systems
- they are also carcinogenic. The larger the fish the more severe the
public advisory tends to be - larger fish are older and have been
accumulating toxins for longer. However, severe consumption advisories
have been issued for even small fishes in Lake Ontario.
About 5 million people go to the Great Lakes for its fishing each
year, commercial and sport fishing is worth $3.5 billion dollars a
year.
The report advises that authorities improve the information used in
fish advisories, enhance the delivery of fish advisories to high risk
groups, and prevent fish contamination advisories by reducing
pollution from industry, sewage systems, agriculture and urban
runoff.

For your information:

'International experience shows communities are not keen on direct
reuse. The other alternative of pumping treated recycled water about
60 kilometres to Warragamba Dam, where natural dilution could be
achieved, would be an expensive option that may also not be acceptable
to our community.'

Mr ".", if someone were to ask you why they are not keen on direct
reuse, how would you explain it, why Singaporeans might be otherwise?

I would urge you to learn about the Tulip mania in Holland's history
for some answers to this question.

There is therefore a need for rational policies to be made, and a
mechanism for the release from policies made by 'honest mistakes'.
That mechanism is the Parliamentary debate. Are we using it enough?
And how could we use it more?

Health is wealth. Peter Collignon in Canberra has sounded a warning.
That warning is applicable to Singapore too. Yet no one dared to pick
it up. For health's sake, wake up!
