Yet Another Health Risk from Contaminated Water
More than 700 current and past citizens of Shannon, near Quebec City, Canada are alleging in a class-action suit against the federal government that the chemical trichloroethylene, or TCE, seeped into the town's water supply from a nearby Canadian Military Base.
Toxicologist Michel Charbonneau says the results of his three-year study show a strong connection between an industrial TCE, and an abnormally high number of cancer cases in the town.
It is well-know that trichloroethylene is as a carcinogen for humans. The Canadian military affirms the risk of contaminated water was removed several years ago and maintains there has been no danger to the public since 2001.
This is another example of finding out too late, and after many needless deaths, that the drinking water has been contaminated.
