DAVE SHUBERT — A biochemist at the Salk Institute thinks tiny molecules of biotech and medical waste-substances whose properties might not even be fully understood by scientists might be able to slip through the system undetected. There are hundreds of thousands of these compounds put out by the medical research community and hospitals. He knows first hand the kinds of wastes that can legally be put down the drain. Neorotoxins and radioactive isotopes. Science nor EPA has any way of testing for these toxins.

"It is clear that guarantees from agencies that recycled water is safe are unqualified," said Matthew Shaffer, Safe Drinking Water Advocate with California Public Interest Research Group (CALPIRG). "Such guarantees undermine the ultimate responsibility of these agencies - to protect public health."

JAMES DAHLGREN, assistant professor of clinical medicine, UCLA says: "Chromium 6 is a carcinogen in numerous species and humans and is not supposed to be in the water at all."

David Morry, At the State Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment, Mr. Morry issued a draft recommendation to cut the allowable levels of chromium to 2.5 parts per billion from EPA’s 50 parts per billion.
