Dr Aravinthan finds solution - we can all go home ...

Dr Vasanthadevi Aravinthan (ex-post-doctoral research fellow at the Advance Wastewater Management Centre at UQ) and now at USQ makes a surprising statement in today's Chronicle. She says "under the Water Futures project, advanced treatment would ensure no unwanted chemicals or pharmaceuticals got through."

Well, that's a relief!

Here was I worrying about the three Federal government reports in the past five months which say that more research is needed on the health effects of what remains in recycled water and these bright scientists have solved all the problems with their "advanced treatment".

Maybe they should tell the politicians in Canberra that they got it wrong - the scientists who prepared the reports for them are wrong - the advance treatment works - no need for more research - end of story.

Do you think Dr Aravinthan is willing to guarantee this?
