Irradiated stones??

I'm sorry, but do you have a heavy sulpher content to your water? My wife
gets sick from alot of things that have a high sulpher content, and she
could not drink the water in the shenandoah valley where we once lived
because of it.

Yep, I have Radon in the basement. What would be the best way to
research
Arsenic in the water - I can't think of good search parameter for
Google.
I
don't remember it being listed on the last water review but that may
not
mean anything. The water in our area leaves something to be desired.
If
I
try to drink a whole glass in the morning it makes me feel sick. My
dog
doesn't like it either.
Thanks,

All in all, you experience many health risks and never know it. Radon
is
a common one. Arsenic in drinking water is a under-rated hazard, maybe
because it is so widespread throughout the country. Check that one
out!
Low does of arsenic are really bad for your health. As a health risk,
it's a real sleeper. Blue topaz belongs way, way down on the list of
things that can be potential health risks.

But, if you're worried about it, have it checked.

Hi,
Thought I better change the title. No, I'm not sensitive to sulpher or iron
in the water.
But I do think they are using a lot of chemicals like chloromides (sp?).
There was something in the water report about the chloromides combining with
bio matter but it wasn't very detailed (to me) about what that meant. The
city water supply use to be well water (very hard) now it's from Lake
Manassas.

Current state-of-the-art water sanitization uses chloramines instead of
gaseous chlorine to kill the "bugs" in the water supply. Chloramines stay in
solution and active even in a "dead" section of pipe ( a place in the piping
system that has no periodic water flow ) and keeps on killing the bugs
there. Chlorine gas has a tendency to disappear in the "dead section" and
allow bacteria to grow and eventually this bacterial growth reaches
sufficient numbers to cause human disease. Chloramines are effective at
levels low enough that the chlorine "taste" and "smell" are no longer
apparent. In a gaseous chlorine system the plant operators have to
"super-dose" the water leaving the plant periodically just to recharge the
water in the "dead" sections and that event is nasty to the consumer for a
few days.

Um. folks?

yeah, this thread started as an on topic conversation, but it really has strayed WAY too
far from anything connected with jewelry, I think. Perhaps this conversation can be
continued in private email, or some other newsgroup or forum more closely related to
water and sanitation issues? Or something... I mean, if it even were related to the
water supply issues in a jewelry shop, or something, then perhaps. But c'mon now...

thanks.
