EPA Administrator Jackson-New Vision for Clean, Safe Drinking Water

In a speech March 22, 2010, at the Association of Metropolitan Water Agencies (AMWA) annual conference in Washington, D.C., U.S. EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson announced the agency is developing a broad new set of strategies to strengthen public health protection from contaminants in drinking water. The aim is to find solutions that meet the health and economic needs of communities across the country more effectively than the current approach. EPA is also announcing a decision to revise the existing drinking water standards for four contaminants that can cause cancer.

Volume too low. Next time, please do proper sound check.

Keep the correct amount of fluoride in the water. Prevention better than cure. Amalgam fillings with mercury is worse than a little fluoride in the water. Problem is most countries is that the fluoride is not titrated accurately.
