'You could get very sick, dangerously sick from immersion and consuming this water.' Steve Backshall declared ‘the Thames is toxic’ earlier this year after samples were taken from the river close to his home. Steve reveals recent tests found high levels of E. coli in the water.

@SteveBackshall Rob Rinder is brilliant on this programme, maybe he should have a much more regular role on GMB as he is neutral politically and cares very much about justice and fairness

@SteveBackshall Why can’t Kate Garraway let him finish what he is saying before butting in? It’s ignorant and disrespectful to anyone appearing on this show.

@SteveBackshall This is a result of blind right wing dogma that private enterprise is the only solution. For many things it is but for our water, transport and energy shareholder profit cannot be the most important thing.

@SteveBackshall @gmb maybe ceo of energy companies should go to prison for over charging too, planners to allowong more builds. Let's take OfWat to task for reducing the subsidised payments, where does the fines from the EA go? & make developers pay more to increase infrastructure as they don't

@SteveBackshall Most of the world’s rivers are toxic. That said, why not laid down an ultimatum for the water companies? Either clean up your act to an acceptable level or get taken over by the government with no compensation for shareholders. 👍

@SteveBackshall Feargal Starkey is very critical of the Government's water bill, stating that due to the small print, no-one will go to prison. He states laws are already in place, but the regulators don't enforce it. He believes the Government has wasted an opportunity and I agree with him.

@SteveBackshall We pay for our water so surely any utility company falling below the safe levels should be held to account. As any private companies should be,for selling something for consumption that is not fit for consumption. We should just pay for sewage element of bill .

@SteveBackshall So glad something is finally being done about the vile practices of many water boards! Hope it has gone far enough to stop it.

EXTREMELY CONCERNING 🚨 Today: Moms Across America just got back their toxic metals testing results for baby formula They tested 20 brands including organic, “All of them, a 100% of the 40 samples tested positive for toxic aluminum and lead. All of them. 80% of the samples had lead levels that were higher than what the EPA allows in drinking water. This is very disturbing. Lead is super toxic and harmful for brain development. At 41,000 parts per billion of aluminum in one of the goat's milk baby formulas, that level was 4,000 to 40,000 times higher than the other heavy metals that were found in the, in baby formulas. And that level, when consumed on a daily basis at a normal rate, the way babies normally do, will exceed what the FDA allows in drinking water, or for consumption for of aluminum for a preemie baby. So these babies are getting toxic levels of aluminum in this goat's milk baby formula. It's called, Cabrida. The highest aluminum levels detected was 200 times higher than what the EPA allows in drinking water. That's in that goat's milk formula. The 57% of the samples tested positive for arsenic, 55% for mercury, and 35% for cadmium. Levels of mercury in 4 of the samples were detected above the amounts allowed by the FDA in drinking water, that's 10%. And levels of cadmium in, both samples of one formula were nearly twice the level allowed in drinking water. So the cadmium can cause cancer. Mercury is very toxic as well, can cause all kinds of sicknesses. 6 of the 20 formulas were positive for all 5 toxic metals in both samples.” “We had hoped at least some of them, perhaps maybe the organic ones or the goat milk formulas, would not have toxic heavy metals, but we were wrong.” HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN??
