Fear Of Toxin In Tap Water Rocks California Valley

Researchers have found high levels of Chromium 6 in tap water in the San Fernando Valley. But are the levels high enough to be dangerous to public health? Chromium 6 has been not only around industrial sites but also near shools and health clinics. Southern California is constantly "trying to recover from its reckless or clueless environmental past. Its air and water have been pummeled for decadesfrom byproducts of military manufacturing and runaway population growth. Last week, a study found that half of the Southern California coastline is unsafe for swimmingafter rainstorms because urban runoff dumps so much harmful bacteria into the ocean.The struggle to improve the environment at times also creates as many problems as it solves...The debate in the valley over Chromium 6 in some ways is a sign of how serious California's campaign against pollution is getting."
