Chemophobia Strikes Again

News from The Roanoke Times -Professor says study not meant to alarm. Chlorine in tap water and a common antibacterial agent, triclosan, can, under certain conditions react to form chloroform. I haven't read the article for how much chloroform and how long one might be in contact. Our media, ever alert for the scare de jour, picked up on this report. You sort of need to know how much and how long. The dose makes the poison.

Migosh, chemical idiocy strikes again.
