Okay, why am I sharing this article?
Well, in the article first they say:
"The Indiana Department of Environmental Management later said the substance was identified as tri-calcium orthophosphate."
Then they say:
"Rowe said it will likely be sometime Tuesday before they have any idea of what the substance is, so no one is allowed into the water until then."
And I say - all this fuss over tricalcium phosphate? Really?
I mean, yes, there are side-effects, but no more than most presciption meds announced on tv nowadays. Not to mention it's used as an additive to many foods and products we use. :shrug: I'm just Maybe I'm reading it wrong.
