Bottled water costs more than we know
Every Wednesday during 1990-94, David Schroeder and I passed out leaflets in Dallas listing 200 toxic chemicals being burned daily by three cement companies near Midlothian, Texas. Tourists were not impressed, but scientists were shocked. I prefer not to list the three firms that were being paid to burn toxic wastes and not having to pay for the purchase of fuel for kilns, a double-edged profit.
One young man froze in his steps and shook his head as he read the toxic list. I asked if he was troubled by the litany of chemicals being burned. He introduced himself as “the guy who shut down a famous bottled water company in Europe.” He was director of the water department in Chapel Hill, N.C. where one pioneering bottled water was used as a standard of purity.
His scientists spoke of discovering benzene in the famous water. Fearful of lawsuits, the director ordered 20 tests be done. If benzene was found in all, then he would go public. The tests proved a carcinogen was indeed found in the little green bottles and a famous French company was shut down for the moment.
