In the Central Valley of California, hundreds of wells are contaminated with a chemical that, according to some experts, is one of the most powerful cancer causing substances. In the near future, the California government intends to address this issue.

According to environmentalists, a substance called 1,2,3, TCP (1,2,3-trichloropropane) was found in gutters in at least 17 states serving millions of people.

Experts say that in some cities in California, outbreaks of cancer have been recorded, possibly related to this substance. However, there are no studies showing that the growth of cancer is associated with the substance TCP.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, TCP can be a carcinogen, a substance that causes serious damage to a gene in cells and arouses the mechanisms that lead to cancer. California Water Board warned residents against using dirty water.

«Даже малейшее количество TCP в воде может нанести потенциальный вред здоровью», — сказал Поль Тратнюк, профессор Института гигиены окружающей среды Университета здоровья и науки штата Орегон.

According to NBC, in the city of Arvin, water was checked for the presence of TCP and revealed that the presence of this substance in local water is six times more than what the state claims.

TCP — это обезжиривающее вещество, которое используется при производстве пластмассовых изделий. Адвокат Тодд Роббинс считает, что наличием опасного химического вещества в водоснабжении центральной долины Калифорнии обязаны двум промышленными гигантами Dow and shellthat use TCP in their production.

The lawyer represents the interests of 30 communities who are suing Dow and shellto make them pay for the multi-million dollar filtering process needed to clean water supplies. The lawyer has documents proving that Dow and shell We knew about the dangers of TCP for insects and animals. Companies also knew that TCP could harm groundwater, but did not take action to solve this problem.

Company Dow declined to comment. In a statement Shell states that the use of the substance TCP is approved by the federal and Californian governments. The company added that this company used in its production and other companies. The statement also notes that no studies have been conducted proving that TCP causes cancer in humans.
