Apparently the chlorine and bromine in the reservoir can react and form cancerous bromate. The balls apparently reduce this reaction by physically blocking UV rays.

"Growth" is misleading as it implies biological matter.

You did the right thing. Good on you for owning it.

then why would you comment if you dont know anything? just like spreading bull shit? or just so vain you have to comment to have your shit voice heard? Think of someone else besides yourself for once.

Hormone-Mimicking Nightmare? L.A. Just Dumped Millions of Plastic Balls into Its Drinking Water

Is there any real evidence that plastic melts into the water?

IFightPolarBears

Plastics dont melt into the water, the sun breaks down chemicals that are in the plastic and the chemicals leech into the water. There are plenty of plastics that dont leech from UV rays. So Im not sure if it the plastic balls would leech anything, I doubt they would. If they wanted to put chemicals into the water they could do it in a better less obvious way.

That being said, the cheapest plastics are also the ones that tend to leech.

Photons in the UV range break down the C-H bonds in HDPE. I mentioned this in the reddit post

Not sure whether this is dangerous but breaking down at all should definitely be a concern (and currently isn't - no mentions at all in any MSM of how soon they have to replace them. That alone is suspicious!)

The same PDF states that a geomembrane (sheet) UV degredation test in BC has been going for 8.5 years and shows no signs of wear, but that's just a piece of plastic on an inclined piece of wood, not 96 million (potentially cheaply made) balls floating in a hot pond.

Cook plastic chemicals into drinking water.

A brilliant way to create more feminized males uninterested in resisting bank slavery or yucky girls.

You have figured out both the SJW and HAES movement in one fell swoop. Everyone to become fat and dependent upon the system so you have no choice/desire to revolt against it.

V/news mod 'typo' deleted my post on this, also I can just say, who knows what is in them.

Good luck !
