More SCARY….LOOK OUT…..we’re all gonna die!!! Inflammatory stuff.
- The data is THREE years old. Some of the data referenced goes back to 2017-2019, or earlier.
- EWGs own disclaimer on the website - if you bothered to look - is in BOLD: “tap water provided by this water utility was in compliance with federal health-based drinking water standards.”
- The EWG definition of ‘safe’ seems pretty slippery. The statement on this werbsite for arsenic, for instance, is: “The EWG Health Guideline of 0.004 ppb for arsenic was defined by the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment as a public health goal..”. A ‘goal’ is NOT a limit or legal threshold, it is an aspiration.
