Senators Rip EPA Over Drugs in Water

Do we need to start testing on a regular basis...well I guess the Senators drink the water too and would like to know what's in there...the fish don't have a choice....they are stuck with the sex hormones and there have been recent stories about some species that are evolving with both reproductive systems...but that's only one element being found today in our drinking water.

The Environmental Protection Agency was lambasted during a Senate hearing Tuesday for allowing the American public to learn that traces of pharmaceuticals are in much of the nation's drinking water from an Associated Press investigative series, not the federal government.The AP's five-month inquiry found that while water is screened for drugs by some suppliers, they usually don't tell customers they have found medication in it, including antibiotics, anti-convulsants, mood stabilizers and sex hormones.
