Re: Arsenic, antimony removal

Do you have a website/link for the Borax info?...I told someone to do that and

they said " no, that actually makes the clothes flames resistant " ...???

[ ] Arsenic, antimony removal

Hello..

I was wondering if anyone knows how to remove arsenic and antimony

from the home environment? I know I need to remove all flame

resistant clothing/beddings, or wash in borax. Anything else? What

about arenic? I know it's in soil and in our waters. Should I do a

water test? Filtration system? Who should I test with? Anything will

help. Our house was built in the 1950s. My husband had our water

pipes replaced with a copper sytem. Does that have anything to do

with the toxic arsenic/antimony? We don't drink the water, but my

concern was the baths.

I did an info slam on antimony not too long ago - couldn't find the

post, but have some of the sites saved....Also wanted to mention that

takes five washings in baking soda to remove antimony (an Andy-

ism ...Last year I used All the options, when rewashing

clothing/bedding/etc...borax, baking soda & vinegar galore with lots of

rinsing going on...and have switched to dry laundry powder, for general

use. Quite often, baking soda & vinegar is all that is needed -

clothes feel soooo much better these days

Urls below...

what do mold & antimony have to do with each other...quite a bit, it

turns out...

Do you own a Graco Pack & Play? What you don't know could be hazardous

to your child's health. Antimony and Arsenic, flame retardant

components of the Graco Pack & Play, can lead to Sudden Infant Death

Syndrome or autism.

I really need to do this...how much baking soda do you use per load?

chuckling - I am a " dumper " type of person...I soooo do not

remember " recommended " amount..I use 1/2 a regular size box, up to a

full box, in a load. Ummm, the standard size box, in the baking

aisle at the store...Probably used a full box or more, for each load,

each wash, last year. (plus borax ...oh, bet there are directions

on the box, didn't think of that - big sigh - nope, my box has alot

of other ideas on it, but nothing on laundry...hmmm.

wishing you the best answers

Five times. Also the bedding. REplace the mattress or at least cover it with a

plastic cover.

>Anything else? What about arenic?

Don't know - other than if you live on an old fruit orchard, then the soil

could contain it. Also, there's arsenic in chicken feed, so that could be a

problem, and I've seen mentioned here that there is arsenic in imported rice.

>I know it's in soil and in our waters. Should I do a water test?

If you have a well, then I think that's a good idea.

>Filtration system? Who should I test with?

DDI does a test. You don't need a doctor for that one.

>Anything will help. Our house was built in the 1950s. My husband had our

water pipes replaced with a copper sytem. Does that have anything to do

with the toxic arsenic/antimony?

If they used the antimony solder for the pipes ... well, I guess it may.
