This is why the EPA needs to be shut down. Turbineguy Jan 2017 #2

There are only two tests for total lead in the environment Drahthaardogs Jan 2017 #3

They're only testing sink water and not shower and heating system water. n/t pnwmom Jan 2017 #4

HUH? Drahthaardogs Jan 2017 #7

It's what the article said. I was just paraphrasing. pnwmom Jan 2017 #11

I know my point was the article is done poorly Drahthaardogs Jan 2017 #13

Can't there be lead in individual faucet fixtures? They just tested in our schools pnwmom Jan 2017 #21

that is caused by water sitting in pipes. mopinko Jan 2017 #22

Sure there could be Drahthaardogs Jan 2017 #26

You beat me to the punch. Paka Jan 2017 #30

Then how does lead get into the air? pnwmom Jan 2017 #34

The lead in air was from combustion from a foundary Drahthaardogs Jan 2017 #39

I was asking, not arguing. Do you know what a question mark means? n/t pnwmom Jan 2017 #40

Oh, sorry then... Drahthaardogs Jan 2017 #43

And the problem is that little kids play near and sometimes with the dirt. pnwmom Jan 2017 #44

If you are testin sink water, you are testing the hot water system CajunBlazer Jan 2017 #9

The author of the article is a clueless nitwit... CajunBlazer Jan 2017 #28

Insulting me for correctly answering someone's question about what the writer meant pnwmom Jan 2017 #33

I apoligize CajunBlazer Jan 2017 #36

It's easy these days to react that way because we're all under a lot of stress. pnwmom Jan 2017 #37

His history of spending campaign finance money shoud have prevented malaise Jan 2017 #5

What Conservatives were appointed or assigned to run the Region 5 EPA office? TheBlackAdder Jan 2017 #6

What! How can Pence be held accountable? CajunBlazer Jan 2017 #8

He as Governor is accountable as any governor of a state disaster is. Alekzander Jan 2017 #12

BS: If a hurrican hits Florida, is the governor automaticlly responsible for the property damage? CajunBlazer Jan 2017 #15

Man you don't compare this to a natural disaster but the Governor is responsible for how he reacts Alekzander Jan 2017 #17

Again, from everything I have read about this Pence is blameless CajunBlazer Jan 2017 #24

Yeah, keep attacking & yes I will say it, your shrilling for Pence is certainly being clueless. Alekzander Jan 2017 #31

The previous poster is not "shrilling for Pence," Alekzander, but asking for a FACTUAL accounting... Hekate Jan 2017 #32

You again, would expect such from you. Actually it appears it is just you & the other. Nobody else Alekzander Jan 2017 #35

+1 Paka Jan 2017 #41

First off, he's not defending pence, second, he's right, pence has nothing to do with this, third, dionysus Jan 2017 #42

Your opinion & no he is totally wrong and yes, he is going nuts trying to defend Pence. Anyone can Alekzander Jan 2017 #45

There is PLENTY to go after the rethugs on... no need to blame them for shit that dionysus Jan 2017 #47

Heh. I guess I'm not the "only one" after all. Hekate Jan 2017 #46

Counting incorrectly is Pence's fault... dionysus Jan 2017 #48

If there is lead in the pipes or water tank Drahthaardogs Jan 2017 #14

True. Alekzander Jan 2017 #19

True enough CajunBlazer Jan 2017 #20

Exactly what I would expect from this type of industrial use Drahthaardogs Jan 2017 #25

Agree, you sound like you know what you're talking about CajunBlazer Jan 2017 #27

But here's the sticking point Bettie Jan 2017 #16

Absolutely correct on that as well, we have seen that. Pence is running from this even more than Alekzander Jan 2017 #18

Again, from everything I have read about this Pence is blameless CajunBlazer Jan 2017 #23
