Could be a long, hot and expensive 2017 for those folks? 42 more cases on deck I believe per Mr. Dietzler?
I am going to still believe that Mr. Rapp made some kind of a deal with Chemours/ DuPont which is why we got 8 Filtration Systems instead of 4? Time should out that sooner or later?
I was talking to a couple of people from California yesterday afternoon and they asked me if I was concerned about our water? I said not now, the new Filters are coming in with "negligible" C8. Even when we were still on Vienna water when the problem finally came out, I used the water from my tap. I knew the filters in my home Filtration System were doing no good as the filters used by the various water purification folks did not get tested for C8. Those people only tested for what was on what I will call the "bad stuff" list from the EPA and the C8 did make a low enough ingestion number till May. And as the one lady on TV said "I have been drinking this water for 50 years and all that changed was a number".
I than told them that was concerning was the fact that it was supposedly throughout the atmosphere in the entire World because it had been manufactured/ used for so long. I also pointed out that China was going full blast in using C8 in whatever processes they were doing now. So any emmissions from them such as was done in DuPont here will just blow from their East to our West and over the entire U.S. in a matter of days based on the current jet stream.
Supposedly, the filters will only be needed for about 10 years? I don't believe that because of what I just wrote about the other places in the World using C8 with abandon. We will continue to varying degrees to be receiving C8 in our air which will do as before and settle on our ground to then leach into the soil and water. Lessor maybe but still coming to us.
I than noted that no one here is worried about the same illnesses that are happening or have happened in other places near us and of course the 3500 Court cases in play. It seems that the folks here who have been under the C8 problem from the air/ water should think about some sort of testing to help them as needed?
We supposedly have a City Health Department that is connected to the VUB and should be the one's leading the necessary program for the folks? Have you heard anything from them or 29th St.? I have not and don't expect too until the first case of whatever springs up? As I said to a City Council Member when he talked to me about a half dozen ladies with Thyroid problems was that maybe they needed to be tested?
Was asked again how we could get C8 in our water? I did the best I could on the residue/ waste from the plant was in my words released into the air and came our way due to local air currents? Then into the water via the soil.
I discussed my concerns more on the "Cumulative" effects than in the water. But again not a word anywhere on those issues? This type of silence from the City is why I am suspicious of some sort of a deal that will not be in the best interest of the people of Vienna?
Got an interesting contact from a guy on the West Coast about as far from Vienna as one can get. He likes my blog for some reason? Being in San Francisco Area was his locale. Thanks for reading. Hope he does not just focus on what is in need of change here and thinks about what the City offers in some great people. 'nuff said'.
