Bioaccumulation: increase in concentration of a pollutant from the environment to the first organism in a food chain. Biomagnification: increase in concentration of a pollutant from one link in a food chain to another . http://www.sott.net/article/305841-Sacramento-water-treatment-experiment-exposed-residents-to-cancer-causing-chemicals "...Pregnant women and unborn babies, Bowcock said, are especially vulnerable to DBPs. In first trimester pregnancies, there's a significant rise in miscarriages, and in third trimester there's evidence of low birth weight," he said, describing how the DBP-tainted water is even more dangerous when its mists are breathed in while showering or washing dishes. This isn't the only water contamination that affects greater Sacramento - Northside residents need to be aware that McClellan Air Force Base is rumored to be the source of contaminated water, as a "chromium plume" of groundwater contamination radiates from out from the base. Our water, in other words, is polluted with cancer-causing chromium-6." California people that is what was, and is in your grow water (and ground soil) right now This is how the pesticides cause cancer: Chromium-6 half-life is also known a Hexavalent Chromium. Has anyone ever seen the movie Erin Brokovich? You should watch it now. http://www.brockovich.com/portfolio/hexavalent-chromium-chromium-6/ http://www3.epa.gov/ttn/atw/hlthef/chromium.html http://www2.epa.gov/cwa-methods/hexavalent-chromium-questions-and-answers http://www.pjoes.com/pdf/11.3/255-260.pdf http://www.who.int/water_sanitation_health/dwq/chemicals/en/trihalomethanes.pdf I am wondering why the groups who are supposed to "protect" patients and small patient grows haven't filed lawsuits on their behalf against the State of California and Governor Brown yet. Oh right, because poisoned soil will shut down home grows and force patients into the dispensaries....
Very interesting. Shame that such a vital resource for all is contaminated by a few. Thought I was walking into a thread on dynamic accumulators but it's all good
