This report is rediculous.
They are talking about "parts per trillion".
This is a infinetly miniscule amont.
There is more danger in breathing.

They are definitely finding effects on fish, such as the effemanization of male fish.
Makes ya wonder! :P
Besides that, the CDC is taking the report seriously, they didn't give it the usual dismissive response.

I am more worried about Hillary.
I am concerned over who will lead our country next and what kind of job they will do, too! :P
At the same time, I am sick and tired of our soil, air, & water being polluted!
It is pretty freaking sad we can't even eat the fish safely out of the Great Lakes & inland lakes & rivers.
I for one, don't want to drink pissed out drugs, whether they be in low concentrations or not.

So do us all a favor and stop breathing...LOL

The report is not ridiculous, the animals are being effected...You don't know what those chemicals will do to your body in trace amounts over a long period of time...It is a reason for concern and if you're not concerned, then drink up...

Do you have any idea what a part per trillion is?
I do.
It is like I said before, it is a infinitely minuscule amount.
Stop drinking the water or stop breathing the air.
See what kills you first.
This is just more media hype.

I can see what your getting at, but I would say the media is hyping it because the CDC didn't dismiss it. I don't think because the air is bad we should say water pollution is okay, or that miniscule (I question whether the amount is miniscule or not. I think it all depends on the area and the drug) amounts are okay.

I didn't want to point any fingers.  Just left it up to inquiring minds.

So, this just needs to be ignored...?

Sorry if my concerns about fresh drinking water don't set right with you... :-\

You know, it's this kind of attitude that leads to more pollution...
