| Abstract/Contents: | Long Island, New York has 2000 wells contaminated with Aldicarb. Half of those had levels above the New York standard of 7 ppb. Ethylene dibromide (EDB) contaminated ground water was discovered in 16 different counties in the states of California, Florida, Georgia, and Hawaii. In January 1984, EDB was found in a private well in Skagit County. It was also found in domestic wells in Whatcom and Thurston counties. Many of the families whose wells were contaminated had to find other sources of drinking water. Often, drilling a new well is not an option. In Whatcom County, a public supply system was extended to serve part of the contaminated area. Other families are still drinking bottled water. Once contaminated, ground water can remain contaminated for hundreds of years. Ground water is very difficult and extremely costly to clean up. For these reasons, it is important to do what we can to protect ground water before damage is done. |
