From NPR, March 26, 2014:
"West Virginia's drinking water crisis earlier this year highlighted an unsettling truth about tap water: Treatment plants test for only a fraction of the chemicals in use."
As SRSW predicted, 1,4-dioxane contamination is more widespread than previously thought. It's another reason that we should learn as much as we can about how this pollutant spreads and how to clean it up at the "mother of all" 1,4-dioxane contamination sites... the Pall/Gelman site in Ann Arbor, hometown of Michigan's Governor Rick Synder.
Yet, the Governor and his Michigan Department of Environmental Quality lack the power or will to restore its online access to the sampling, treatment and discharge database that the "responsible party" Pall Corporation maintains of its dioxane in Michigan's "Waters of the State". We must have timing, accurate, reliable, and complete data to know how much dioxane is left to spread, where it is going, how fast, and how effective is the remediation.
