Guest guest Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 http://www.ewg.org/reports/rocketlettuce/ Perchlorate, an ingredient in rocket fuel which impairs the thyroid's ability to take up iodide and produce hormones, has contaminated almost 300 drinking water sources and farm wells in California and sources in at least 15 other states. This new information is found in test data and documents obtained by Environmental Working Group (EWG), a non-profit environmental research organization with offices in Oakland and Washington, DC. Contamination has affected the Colorado River from near Las Vegas to the Mexican border http://www.organicconsumers.org/Toxic/030503_toxic_lettuce.cfm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
