Drinking Water vs Chemicals that are
inside of our Tap Water
The
drinking water where I live has fluoride and chlorine in it. There are other chemicals and carcinogens
inside of the water. The tap water in
Dayton, Ohio taste very nasty. Therefore,
I will have to purchase a water filter because I need to flush out all of the
toxins that are inside of the water. The
tap water inside of Wentworth Hi Rise Apartments in Dayton, Ohio taste like
chlorine and ammonia. The water pipes
that are inside of the apartment are very old and rusty. There are some times
where lead pipes were discovered inside of housing projects in the Dayton, Ohio
Area. It causes vomiting, developmental
problems in babies, as well as learning disabilities.
The specific contaminants
affecting groundwater are man-made chemicals known as Perfluorooctane Sulfonic
Acid (PFOS) and Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA). PFOS and PFOA are components of
many industrial and commercial products, including a legacy firefighting foam
used by the Air Force and civilian airports to combat petroleum-based fires
associated with aircraft fires. This particular chemical is located
inside of Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Fairborn, Ohio.
The quality of drinking
water as well as levels of chemicals should improve, right after the building
is demolished. If the Lord’s will, I
hope to live in an environment that is conducive to my personal needs. There are new apartments in the Dayton, Ohio
Area. It is that the building materials
are made of plexboard. The water pipes
inside of the new apartments are PVC, which is polyvinyl chloride. I have been drinking soda, instead of
drinking tap water. The soda contains
carbonated water. In order for me to
drink some tap water, I have to let the water run for over 30 minutes before I
am able to drink it.
Finally, whenever I am in
need of County Services, I would have to receive permission from the
Residential Manager or a Case Manager. I
have to test my tap water inside of my apartment because I know that my water has
been making me very sick inside of my stomach.
It causes diarrhea and other gastrointestinal related problems. When I was living in the Charlotte, NC Area,
I did not have any problems with the water.
I guess, in Charlotte, NC the County (Mecklenburg) are responsible for
testing the water more often than other cities where I used to live. Thank You for reading my blog!!
