MABIAN.BIZ presents WATERBORNE

Sewage effluent has been rebranded as "recycled water" but it contains many contaminants including pathogens, dangerous drugs, heavy metals and endocrine disruptors. What is not widely known, and what is far more dangerous, is that "recycled water" contains antibiotic reistant pathogens and DNA that is coded for antibiotic reistance. These genes contribute to the spread and virulence of superbugs in the community.
Because of the rebranding, partially-treated sewage water is now being sprayed all over the public on golf courses, schoolyards, domestic lawns and is even being used for agricultural irrigation. Seventy percent of all the leftover sewer sludge in the United States is also being spread on farm land, construction sites and is even being sold as "fertilizer".

Edo McGowan, Ph.D. and Maureen Reilly discuss the scope of this problem in WATERBORNE. Watch the short preview here and please purchase the DVD below. The full-length video is 46min long.
