2005--2009 Studies That Affect Your Health Through Contaminated Food and Water From Sewage
(209) 12/4/2010
Highlights
Legionnaires Disease Linked to Cooling Towers. MRSA infections and deaths explode. Endotoxin caused lung
disease and Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals research expands. Viable but Nonculturable found in sludge and
reclaimed water. Antibiotic gene research continues. EPA approves new tests for fecal coilform (thermotolerant
E. coli). Contaminated vegetable outbreaks cost hundreds of millions of dollars. Black plague bacteria
becomes antibiotic resistant. Viruses are found to cause Obesity. Bacteria are found to cause blood clots.
Viable but Nonculturable Escherichia coli O157:H7 bacteria found in Drinking Water. Court finds municipality
lies about sludge tests. Senior Agency officials who support sludge policy earn more than Vice president.
