Water bond could bring millions to perchlorate cleanup, water recycling

From the San Garbriel Valley Tribune:

“An $11.1 billion statewide water bond meant to remedy the state’s vulnerable water supply could include more than $150 million for San Gabriel Valley projects.

If voters approve the bond next November, the Valley would see $100 million for groundwater cleanup and at least $50 million for water recycling projects, according to officials.

It would be the largest amount of funding awarded locally to address groundwater contamination, according to Gabriel Monares, director of resource development for the San Gabriel Basin Water Quality Authority.

“The San Gabriel Valley could finally get major money for its water needs” Monares said. “We have never been in a position to get money like this.” …”

    Although it hasn’t been part of any official evaluation of perchlorate toxicity, it has been known since 1968 that the autoimmune effects of medicinal doses of perchlorate are a form of drug-induced lupus. See Beickert and Heinicke 1968 pubmed id 4181403. In nursing infants the corresponding sign of perchlorate toxicity would be the rash known as Sweet’s syndrome.
