Also, there have been some bulidings down here that have been condemned and parks closed because of the arsenic in the pressure treated lumber leaching into the ground. It would seem then, that that reinforces the argument to monitor and reduce the arsenic content in our drinking water. ted

Re: just a play on everyone who wants to trash Bush for arsenic. Lately there has been great concern over sawing pressure treated lumber and inhaling the dust... When it rains that gets leached into the ground water. Just like all the gasoline left on the roads.Don't venture too far out of areas you know something about. So, what was your point? If the source of the arsenic in the water is pressure treated lumber, it's OK to drink it? I have no argument with the position that gasoline shouldn't be in drinking water, either. Regards, Dan PS - During the late 80's and early 90's my job was building and running emissions models for the Department of Energy. I've been working in other areas since, and my work was to study atmospheric contamination, not surface, soil, or water contamination, but I still work with (and converse with) people on a daily basis who do Environmental Assessments that include such things as modeling subsurface plumes. It's not my area of expertise, by any means, but it isn't an area I know nothing about, either.
