Officials from the Bureau for Public Health and West Virginia American
Water released separate statements regarding Dr. Scott Simonton's
testimony Wednesday to Joint Legislative Oversight Commission on State
Water Resources, calling his remarks on the discovery of formaldehyde in
the water of a Charleston restaurant "unfounded", "misleading", and
"irresponsible."
.
In a release from the West Virginia Bureau for Public Health, Commissioner
and State Health Officer Dr. Letitia Tierney said experts who have been
assisting the state through this response say that the only way possible
for formaldehyde to come from MCHM is if it were combusted at 500F.
.
Dr. Tierney cited The World Health Organization (WHO) and says
formaldehyde is the most frequent aldehyde found in nature and is
naturally measurable in air and water. Formaldehyde is created through
the normal breakdown cycle of plants and animals.

Scott Simonton, vice chair of the West Virginia Environmental Quality
Board, told a Joint Commission on Water Resources Wednesday, they still
dont know much, and they certainly dont know enough.
.
Simonton said one of the biggest questions is what happens to these
chemicals when they begin to react with the environment.
.
What happens when they mix with chlorine in the water treatment facility?
.
What happens when they mix with soaps or detergents in your home?
.
What happens when the human body metabolizes them?
.
Those questions, he says, dont have answers.
.
But Simonton is starting to find the answers to some of those questions as
he tests the water quality throughout the West Virginia American Water
distribution system in the Kanawha Valley.
.
The testing is funded by a Charleston law firm, Thompson Barney LLC, which
is also representing businesses that lost money because they couldn't use
water for days.
.
Our concern was these breakdown products. We know for example that
methanol can break down into formaldehyde, he told the commission.
.
Formaldehyde is a known human carcinogen. Thats important and so we
thought, wow, we should be looking for formaldehyde. Sure enough we have
found formaldehyde in the water system.
.
Test results were positive for the water at the Vandalia Grille in
downtown Charleston.
.
Simonton said formaldehyde is most dangerous and most toxic when inhaled.
Formaldehyde often leads to respiratory cancers. State health officials
and representative of West Virginia American Water have refuted Simonton's
research on the matter, calling his remarks "mileading" and "unfounded."
.
We dont know what the concentration of it is in air, but I can guarantee
you that the citizens of this valley are at least in some instances
breathing formaldehyde, he said.
.
Theyre taking a hot shower, this stuff is breaking down to formaldehyde in
the water system and theyre inhaling it.
.
The new revelations and new information Simonton provided the commission
is something Senate Majority Leader Senator John Unger said shocked him
and his fellow lawmakers.
