Camelford Poisoning

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/1490142.stm
THe above just says that the 1998 poisoning of 1000s of homes near Camelford in 1998 and has now re-appeared in the News today- basically stating that health problems still affect some of those people poisoned at the time.

The population was poisoned when a tanker sent aluminium sulphate directly into the water supply- and caused quite a bit of attention at the time [surprise ]
However, the media didnt seem to pick up on its possible long term implications of Alzheimers disease- aparently the victims are suffering from short term memory loss and other symptomsof the disease.

The article below is perhaps the most pro aluminium article I've ever read - but maybe its the most subjective.......

I threw my mothers' aluminium pans out years ago .
