The Emerging Contaminates are becoming an issue, as we devise better methods of determining the amount of the contaminate in our waters. The streams around Boston are contaminated with Amphetamines(man made), which is a concern for the Ecology of those streams and the re-use of the water. 214 million Americans across the country have water contaminated with Hexavalent Chromium(man made). MTBE's in all of Rhode Island's ground water(man made). PFC's in 106 million Americans water, ground and Municipal(man made). Elevated Nitrates surface and ground water through out the Mid-west(the 12"-25" layer of soil holds up to 50 times the Nitrates of the upper layer, (man made). Elevated Lead levels in all 50 states some much higher than Flint, MI.(thank to Chloramine(man made). Pharmaceuticals are only a small part of what is happening!
