Recent health concerns have in using the garden hose for water to get my attention. I was more than a little surprised to learn that these issues have been for at least 25 years. In fact, prompted concerns about chemical contamination of drinking water, the State of Proposition 65 in California in 1986. Proposition 65 will limit our exposure to hazardous substances to cancer, birth defects or other reproductive disorders.It encompasses both synthetic and natural hazardsIn the marketing of products in the U.S. state of California for inclusion of health warnings on packaging for products such as garden hoses, that each of the 775 substances are included, found, the risks to human health. In terms of garden hoses the main culprit, the lead stabilizer in polyvinyl chloride has been found, which is a common material in its manufacture.In a recent test by Consumer Reports in the U.S., some samples were used by hose,found in order on "the government safe" limits are. Some have been 100 times over.
What does this mean for us? In my opinion it makes no sense to ignore such warnings. Like most environmental problems, even though the penalty Sayers wrong, I'd rather err on the side of safety and to avoid practices that may one day lead to the fact that my premature demise. If these warnings turn out to be correct, then I've protected me, if they're not then I'm no worse off. On the other hand, if I ignoreWarnings and they prove to be legitimate then I will regret it in a big way.
It seems that in today's world we are constantly bombarded with warnings. These are the unpleasant side-effects of our insatiable quest for products and processes that make our lives "do better" and effortless. While many innovations in science and technology are truly amazing, I suspect we are often unaware of their environmental and health impacts.
It is time for allGovernments followed in California, many fine examples of the adoption of secure health and environmental rules and regulations.
