This is one of the most important water safety topics that you need to learn. This is a topic that has gotten lost in the shuffle of many things.
In fact, the main reason that the issue of drinking polluted water in China is getting lost is because the majority of the people that are dealing with the issue don''t even know that it is an issue. There is a reason for that.
What I mean by this is that many of the people that have to deal with unsafe drinking water in China have absolutely no idea that there is a problem. I am going to be honest with you. It''s not because they are ignorant or because they are not paying attention to what''s happening. The fact is that they are not.
Instead, what happens is that they are unaware that the quality of the water that they are drinking in China is not good. If the people in Chongqing China did not drink water that was contaminated with heavy metals like lead and cadmium then they would not suffer
