Ted Re..Yes, after 4 years of research, the new law was implemented. What does it matter when it was implemented? The reasons behind the implementation still stand. I do not remember the lowering of the arsenic standards being discussed. Certainly not as a bill put out by congress, so by what reasoning did Bill decide to lower it, without soliciting anyone elses opinion, especially people living in affected districts. Isn't water too important, to be decided by one lame duck president. The reason is because arsenic kills people. I know that's not something you worry your head over but some of us do care. I've seen what 50 parts of arsenic does to people in Bangladesh. First they get painful, bony growths on their palms and on the bottom of their feet. Eventually, it turns to cancer and they die. dodd.senate.gov
