The Atoms Next Door Follow up

Ann Suellentrop of Physicians for Social Responsibility reports on the Atoms Next Door Symposium she attended this past weekend in St. Louis featuring Dr. Helen Caldicott.

Also, a documentary from our friends at H20 Radio called “Forgotten. Did the State of Colorado Leave Residents with Bad Water?”

Gas drilling came to southern Colorado’s Raton Basin in the late 1990s, and along with it heavy traffic, noise–and what many locals believe–contaminated water caused by industry. Specifically numerous residents discovered they had a chemical in their water called tert-Butyl alcohol or “TBA.” The state investigated the matter and published a report suggesting TBA was naturally occurring among other explanations. Now the case is closed and the report not only leaves more questions than it answers–it resigns residents to living with water they feel they dare not drink.
