John Pardue Chemicals Quotations

From the perspective of chemical or environmental contamination, it could have been much worse. One advantage is that we have so much water in the city and that dilutes out the chemicals. People shouldn't have an irrational fear of chemicals in the water. I'm more concerned about the viral and bacterial things. There's going to be a lot of gastrointestinal and public health issues.

While there are a lot of chemicals in the water, they probably don't rise to the level of an acute toxin. Probably the biggest danger right now is the sewage.

There's just a whole smorgasbord of chemicals that are getting in the water.
