 "Water supplies must originate from somewhere, but those sources are becoming infected with pollutants from a variety of places—power plants, factories, septic systems, sewage spills, waste disposal sites for hazardous materials that sink into the groundwater, animal feed lots, landfills, acid water runoff from mines, disposal wells, land disposal of sludge, spray irrigation, buried storage tanks and pipelines, and even from us dumping things down the drain like cosmetics and unused drugs. This list goes on and on."- Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.) |
 "Its water even eliminates the smell in waste lagoons and septic systems (it kills only harmful bacteria).
Of course, the old-fashioned method of boiling your drinking water for several minutes causes any chlorine to evaporate.
Another inexpensive way to get rid of most chlorine in water is to use vitamin C. One gram of vitamin C will neutralize 1 ppm (part per million) of chlorine in 100 gallons of water. This is particularly useful if you want to lie in the bathtub without suffering the irritating effects of chlorine on your skin and in your lungs."- Andreas Moritz, The Liver and Gallbladder Miracle Cleanse: An All-Natural, At-Home Flush to Purify and Rejuvenate Your Body (Get the book.) |
 "Watershed-altering timber practices were part of the agreement, along with improved dairy farms and septic systems. Logging can send sediment coursing into creeks, where it fouls downstream reservoirs. The City of New York has funded more than five hundred forest-management plans covering 94,000 acres (38,000 hectares), bought and retired the development rights to forest land, and helped loggers harvest less disruptively. It even supplies temporary bridges for creek crossings, where loggers would ordinarily muddy the stream by driving right through it."- Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.) |

 "These are being metabolized by our bodies, urinated into our sewage and septic systems, and pumped right into the outfalls and streams. No treatment is in place for managing this growing problem.
A report written in the Sunday Herald, United Kingdom, March 5, 2005, points to well-substantiated evidence that these contaminants do indeed exist, and explains their potential impact. Pharmaceutical companies are being given until the end of the year to supply data on their drugs to the Environment Agency in the United Kingdom so their impact can be researched."- KC Craichy, Super Health 7 Golden Keys to Unlock Lifelong Vitality (Get the book.) |
| "En route many possible sources of pollution, such as gas stations, herbicide spraying under utilities' rights-of-way, road salt, and septic systems are included to show the connections between a town's chemical use and the contamination of its drinking water. The same principles apply to the connections between private drinking water wells, septic systems, and lawn care chemicals; only the scale is different. You will learn how to develop maps of your own drinking water source and to inventory the possible sources of pollution in their water supply." - H. Patricia Hynes, Earth Right (Get the book.) "The most important factors in keeping septic systems efficient in cleaning wastewater and keeping wastewater from contaminating the water supply are a mix of human practices: no disposal of toxic wastes in the system, along with proper design and location of the septic system and well. Where many septic systems are located within the cone of depression of a public water supply, there is an increased chance for contamination. WATER POLLUTANT 7: DUMPS AND LANDFILLS_ On a map of your town or city, mark the currently used landfill and all former landfills and dumps." - H. Patricia Hynes, Earth Right (Get the book.) "Even well-designed septic systems release some bacteria and nitrates into the ground, with the septic liquid piped to the leach-field. Effluent from septic systems can also contain the toxic chemicals of whatever has been poured down the drain: metals from pho-toprocessing, organic chemicals from paint remover and furniture stripping, and waste oil and gasoline, for example. Even chemical septic system cleaners, containing hazardous chemicals that cannot be destroyed in the septic system, have contaminated nearby wells." - H. Patricia Hynes, Earth Right (Get the book.) "Locate septic systems and animal lots downhill and as far away as possible from the well. They are a source of nitrate pollution. So also are nitrogen fertilizers, which should be used sparingly. 2. Pump your septic system every two to three years to control bacterial contamination. septic systems and manure are a source of bacterial pollution. Diseases such as typhoid fever, hepatitis, diarrhea, and dysentery can result from sewage contamination of drinking water. 3. Do not use chemical septic cleaners. They contain toxic chemicals like methylene chloride and 1,1,1-trichloro-ethane." - H. Patricia Hynes, Earth Right (Get the book.) |
