IntoTheNight, a very simple question for you

This is a glass of unclean water. Unsafe for drinking.

Did you sign a petition to ban Dihydrogen Monoxide?

Dihydrogen Monoxide - The Truth
Dihydrogen monoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and kills uncounted thousands of people every year.

What are the dangers of Dihydrogen Monoxide?
Most of these deaths are caused by accidental inhalation of DHMO, but the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide do not end there. Prolonged exposure to its solid form causes severe tissue damage. Symptoms of DHMO ingestion can include excessive sweating and urination, and possibly a bloated feeling, nausea, vomiting and body electrolyte imbalance. For those who have become dependent, DHMO withdrawal means certain death.

Dihydrogen Monoxide Facts

Dihydrogen monoxide:
  • is also known as hydric acid, and is the major component of acid rain.
  • contributes to the Greenhouse Effect.
  • may cause severe burns.
  • contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape.
  • accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals.
  • may cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of automobile brakes.
  • has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients.

CO2 dissolved in water can combine with water to form carbonic acid however...

I already mentioned this. Only a small amount of dissolved CO2 does this. It is an equilibrium reaction. Some carbonic acid becomes dissolved CO2, and some dissolved CO2 becomes carbonic acid.

Depending on the amount of water, the pH might actually change.

Contaminated water and poor sanitation are linked to transmission of diseases such as cholera, diarrhoea, dysentery, hepatitis A, typhoid and polio. Absent, inadequate, or inappropriately managed water and sanitation services expose individuals to preventable health risks.

But every one of those diseases can be found in unpolluted water found in nature. Pollution is not a prerequisite for their presence.

Explain, please.

What's to explain? Every disease you listed can be found in nature and pollution isn't necessarily the cause.

Cholera. Caused by bacteria in water contaminated with feces (animal or human), stagnant water, or water that contains dead animals or fish. None of that requires pollution to occur.

Diarrhoea: Same cause as Cholera.

Dysentery: Same causes as Cholera

Hepatitis: Usually transmitted by a carrier to others. Again, nothing to do with pollution.

Typhoid: Usually transmitted from Salmonella bacteria from human feces or being unsanitary in daily practices.

Polio: Incubated in soil naturally and can affect entire populations. Most infections are non-debilitating and symptoms are mild. One of the major causes in the early 20th Century was increased cleanliness standards that caused more people, particularly the affluent, to not develop immunity at an early age.

That is a given.

Cholera. Caused by bacteria in water contaminated with feces (animal or human), stagnant water, or water that contains dead animals or fish. None of that requires pollution to occur.

Also a given.

Into The Retarded Mind asked me to define "clean", "dirty" and "pollution".

I hoped that my question would get him to answer but he refused because it would implicitly define those terms.
