Is your water safe???
I just don’t have anything so say… but these things kept ringing in my head…
I’ve worked as a chemist in this water testing laboratory for a year or so till I left to reside here in cali... well what can I say…. Before I left I had a meeting with these people from paranaque city hall… those guys that are in the city health dept. thing…well there we talked about the concerns of the city when it comes to their water supply and health issues…cause recently they had a mercury leakage that affected the city…how it happened I really have no idea…the city offer was way out of her league when she said that these mercury contamination can be caused by the improper use of filter….I was like WTF I instantly corrected her…just to make things straight… cause it’s just a common sense… come to think of it… why would you put a mercury containing substance in a system that you will use to clean you water….just like any metals… it leech out in time a year of my experience in that laboratory taught me a lot…. And most of the I have to learn everything on my own… cause I was hired there to replace the chemist and no one can teach me cause there are no other chemist to guide me…as time goes by… I saw the problems in those fast food joints… most of their ice that they are serving are contaminated with bacteria… how do I know it? Fuck I am the one testing them and reading their results… I sign them too… people who are from the area of quezon city… try looking at the water test results of those fast foods that are in gateway or just around the area of libis, cubao, Fairview, rotonda… if the tesing was done by this lab named platinum…. Chances are it has my name on it…. For the months of june 2005-june 9, 2006…. Why am I saying these….nothing really I just want to inform why should people be cautious in terms of having ice on their drinks.. especially when they are scooped in the ice bin… I’d rather have my ice from those self served drinking stations…. Just like that in fazoli’s and that in taco bell… or else where….how about our water supplies in the house… are they safe??? Here in cali I can say that its safe when it comes to bacteria… cause the chlorine content is way higher.. that’s why nobody in our house bothers to drink from it…but we use it for cooking cause chlorine evaporates when its boiled….well in manila area… the water is good… it complies with the PNSDW level of residual chlorine,…..well if you are wondering about the importance of residual chlorine…it maintains the water bacteria free…. As simple as that….the only cause of out break is the pipe leaks….and those pipe lines that are submerged in the sewage! It’s freaking insane to do that….good for those third world country like ours we don’t have to worry about toxic contaminants especially those radiation and other toxic substances… unlike in Europe… you better not drink from their faucet…just like my prof always tells us back in grad school…. Hmmm…. How about those water that you buy in the refilling stations are they safe???? Yeah they are safe… free from contaminants… as long as they have those complex filtration system…. How about bacteria??? Chances are they are free from it… even if they are stocked for a while as long as those refilling stations disinfect their containers weekly…. Actually it should be done before they fill a bottle…..however the certifications of those water quality especially those for bacteria… they are valid only for a month… so restos are required to have it done monthly… but not all of those fastfoods comply based on my experience….water districts are the only ones that I know that complies with it… but those business establishments… nah… they dont give a damn…so what’s the fucking point? Well if ever you get sick from a resto due to their beverages…. Their monthly water monitoring should be checked…… nah forget about it.. these are just bits of info.. that came across my head….
