Comment:
The storms of climate change can move spilled or leaked chemicals & toxic metals from industrial areas to residential or agricultural areas. These concentrate in sloughs, ponds, and streams in the drying heat of summer, then could contaminate drinking water. Oil extraction fluids can bring out radium (as happened in the Lost Hills/South Belridge area, discovered by Dr Pete McMahon last year), uranium, mercury, lead, nickel, hexavalent chromium, excessive barium (linked to heart disease). These are linked to allergies, autoimmune diseases, developmental defects, autism, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's,thyroid disease (something from the Lost Hills Oilfield contributed to thyroid disease), diabetes, or organ failure. Some of these metals bioaccumulate. These diseases are linked to lost productivity and accidents. The heat of climate change is linked to toxic algae blooms in water that can poison animals and children and be allergenic in lower concentrations.
