(10,201 posts)They are the agency that said the air was safe to breathe in lower Manhattan following the 9/11 attacks.
They not once but twice spilled millions of gallons of toxic chemicals into Colorado/New Mexico rivers, then waited days to tell anyone.
They also ruptured a water line, and then contaminated a local creek on GA with toxic dirt.
They were also the very same agency that said the drinking water in Flint was ok to drink.
According to the agency, fracking is safe too...
So no... I will not listen to the EPA when they say that 700 parts per billion is ok, nor will I say that 18.74 parts per billion is good either. I will not budge when my highly refined pallet can taste glyphosate at around the 10.238 PPB mark, and at 11.144PPB it really affects the fruity nose of a Pinot Nior, and starts to take a giant shit on the sharpness of the tannins in a young Burgundy, and don't get me started on what happens to the acidic finish of a crisp white at the 12.018PPB mark.
