<< - Despite a 1999 National Academy of Sciences finding that arsenic in
drinking water causes bladder, lung and skin cancer, the Bush administration
on Tuesday reversed a Clinton decision requiring 3,000 communities to upgrade
their water systems to protect against arsenic poisoning. The Environmental
Protection Agency said it was withdrawing the new standards reducing
allowable levels of arsenic in drinking water by 80 percent until it can
review the science and costs more. "I am committed to safe and affordable
drinking water for all Americans. I want to be sure that the conclusions
about arsenic in the rule are supported by the best available science," said
EPA Administrator Christie Whitman. The administration also announced Tuesday
it would honor a consent decree to toughen pesticide regulations that EPA
signed with environmental groups and farm workers the day before Clinton left
office. But it said it would take a new look at some of the risk assessments
in re-evaluating pesticides. >>
Isn't it comforting to know that the Republicans are now looking out for your
health? Well, as long as it doesn't cost too much. I do have to admit that
the thought of Dubya and Christie imbibing the water they espouse, gives me a
good feeling. Prudy
