- Hello Jeff - Do you want to drink 'recycled' water? Or,
have your produce irrigated with it? As noted below, wastewater treatment
process does not inactivate prions (a no-brainder) and it actually re-concentrates
them in the sewage sludge biosolids. Human prions are much more infective
than animal prions. The whole idea of recycling (hideously polluted) human
waste water is, of course, insane.

- "The human prion is resistant to both heat and chemicals
and is reported to be up to a hundred thousand times more difficult to
deactivate than the animal form of infective agent which causes well known
diseases in cattle, such as mad cow disease, and scrapie in sheep. "

- UCSC Researchers Find Key To Prion Diseases
- By Alia Wilson
-
- SANTA CRUZ -- Researchers at UC Santa Cruz have discovered
that in an inherited form of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, disrupted regulation
of copper ions in the brain may be a key factor in the disease.
- Prion diseases are fatal neurodegenerative brain disorders
caused by a misfolded form of the normal cellular prion protein. Human
prion diseases include classic and variant types of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease,
mad cow disease, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. " [USA: 5 million
Alzheimer's victims}
-
- Researchers have found infectious prions in blood, urine
and feces of human TSE victims (transmissible spongiform encephalopathies
= AD, sCJD, etc.) EPA and University of Wisconsin researchers have concluded
the wastewater treatment process does NOT inactivate prions, and it RECONCENTRATES
them in the sewage sludge biosolids".
-
- What are the implications for risks from infectious human
prions ( Alzheimer's, sCJD, etc.) in BOTH CLASS B AND CLASS A sewage sludge
? (Waste industry & EPA recommend spreading Class A sludge
biosolids compost on public parks and playgrounds, and on lawns, and home
flower & vegetable gardens) - children with their hand to mouth behavior,
eat dirt - PICA kids eat LOTS of dirt - and family pets can track the wastes
in on their feet and fur . . . .
-
- Spreading Class B sewage sludge biosolids containing
infectious human and animal prions on grazing lands, hay fields and dairy
pastures poses risks to cows, cattle, livestock and wildlife.
