  yeah - when you sign up for water and trash you get a paper from the EPA.

  Huh?  The city warns its people not to drink the water it provides for them?  
Now I've heard everything. How many people have sued for damages I wonder. That 
makes about as much sense as the notion of trusting officials we elect to 
represent our interests.  Your explanation makes sense. Inhalation, not skin 
adsorption.  Yes there's a lot of water going by and the heat helps liberate 
the disolved gas.

    I think in the case of chlorine it is inhaled in the shower.
  The amount drunk is small in most peoples case as many people prefer bottled 
beverages be they juice or soda drinks.
  I know in Umatilla Oregon just drinking the water is enough to cause 
fluorosis. CIty water is 6ppm. They encourage pregnant women and children not 
to drink the water.

  Hey Kirk;

It's this last bit that has got my attention;

Lester was shattered. He couldn't understand it. Yet there was a reason. 
Despite taking care to drink only bottled water, Lester didn't know that much 
more of the pollution-laced tap water is absorbed through the skin from bathing 
and washing clothes. 

Poor Lester.

Although almost all exposure to waterborne contaminants is known to occur via 
dermal absorption, no studies have ever been done to determine the toxicity of 
pollution scrubber liquor  the fluoride used in water fluoridation schemes. 


Now I have heard this several times over the last little while with regard to 
chlorine in tap water.  It doesn't make sense to me that my body would adsorb 
more chlorine (or flourine or any other toxin) from water through skin contact 
than by drinking it.  When I drink water the entire amount goes inside and has 
to be processed before any of it comes out again.  The internal linings have 
evolved to be highly adsorbing and I'm guessing that it is moreso than the 
skin.  I'd like to see the proof about this claim.
