Description from Px3 aka Peggy: Several private wells where I live (including mine) contain extremely high levels of Benzine (gasoline). The EPA has installed carbon filters in the houses until a permanent fix can be done. The contaminated plume is slowly spreading to other wells. Now we have been told that there may be other contaminates that the filters cannot remove.

puppychick labratbecky says:WHere do you live? That is AWFUL! I had a lot of organic chemistry in college and I know how bad that is for you.
I saw this pick and I thought it was really cute until I read your explanation about its origin. I am so sorry! I’m not sure what they can even do for you. Hugs!! Hang in there!!
