UK Against Fluoridation

USA - letter

Is it safe to drink tap water yet?
Although it seems like old news now, I am still a little shaken by reports that our drinking water contains measureable amounts of discarded pharmaceutical drugs (see Water quality follow-up) which made front page news nationwide in March 2008.
Like too many things, the problem was identified only to vanish back into the back pages of our history book. Were regulations put into place that minimizes contamination? Are people still advised to flush unused medication in lieu of another safer disposal method?
It is bad enough that our drinking water contains trace amounts of lead, mercury, and fluorosilicic acid (fluoride); one can see why bottled water enjoys such broad appreciation!
