Well let me say, i do not worry about my health at all, I smoke, eat rubbish and generally still try to pretend I am 20 but the asbestos fibers from the water mains apparently amount to up to 1,000,000 per liter. Now I know that the said fibers are on the low scale of the cancer generating type but come on. I built a house some time ago and they had me put in a radon tank and that as there was an outside chance that 1 in 1000 people died from cancer due to radon and we didnt have it in our area. The short fibers in cement bonded products like thees pipes cause cancer of the lungs as they imbed in the tissue when breathed in. whats to say that they dont inbed in your gut?
For my money, I rekon it will all blow up in a few years when a proper transparent study is done on the effects of asbestos in drinking water.
No-one has mentioned the water itself. There is far more of that coming out of the tap than there is asbestos, and it kills much faster if breathed in.
