Download or read book Bottled Water FDA Safety and Consumer Protections are Often Less Stringent Than Comparable EPA Protections for Tap Water written by John Stephenson and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2009-11 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade, the consumption of bottled water in the U.S. has more than doubled -- from 13 gall./person in 1997 to 29 gall./person in 2007. With this increase have come several concerns over bottled water's quality and safety. For ex., bottled water does not necessarily have lower levels of contamination than tap water. Several org. have raised concerns about a low recycling rate for plastic water bottles. This testimony addresses three issues: (1) the extent to which fed. and state authorities regulate the quality of bottled water to ensure its safety; (2) the extent to which fed. and state authorities regulate the accuracy of labels or claims re: the purity and source of bottled water; and (3) the environmental impacts of bottled water.

This book was released on 2004-04-30 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objectives of this project were (1) to measure consumer satisfaction with tap water quality, (2) to investigate demographic trends in consumer satisfaction and consumption of tap water alternatives, (3) to identify the factors that cause consumers to purchase and use bottled water and POU/POEs, and (4) to develop a list of recommendations for water utilities that can improve consumer satisfaction and help bridge gaps between perception and reality. The following are highlights from the research project: Consumption rate of tap water alternatives is highly dependent on geographic location (20% usage rate in the Midwest vs. 80% on the West Coast). Tap water drinkers are more satisfied (20% on average) than tap water alternative drinkers concerning various aspects of tap water (e.g., overall quality, taste, appearance, smell, safety, healthiness). Tap water quality had limited influence on consumer satisfaction. The highest level of correlation (between satisfaction and water quality) was found to have an R2 - value of 34%-64% for hardness and total dissolved solids. Safety was the primary motivator for filtered water drinkers. Bottled water drinkers were divided between taste, safety, and healthiness.

Download or read book The Profits of Distrust written by Manuel P. Teodoro and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-08-25 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The burgeoning bottled water industry presents a paradox: Why do people choose expensive, environmentally destructive bottled water, rather than cheaper, sustainable, and more rigorously regulated tap water? The Profits of Distrust links citizens' choices about the water they drink to civic life more broadly, marshalling a rich variety of data on public opinion, consumer behavior, political participation, geography, and water quality. Basic services are the bedrock of democratic legitimacy. Failing, inequitable basic services cause citizen-consumers to abandon government in favor of commercial competitors. This vicious cycle of distrust undermines democracy while commercial firms reap the profits of distrust – disproportionately so from the poor and racial/ethnic minority communities. But the vicious cycle can also be virtuous: excellent basic services build trust in government and foster greater engagement between citizens and the state. Rebuilding confidence in American democracy starts with literally rebuilding the basic infrastructure that sustains life.

Download or read book Handbook of Health Behavior Research I written by David S. Gochman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1997-08-31 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary objective of this Handbook is to provide statements about health behaviour research as a basic body of knowledge moving into the 21st century. It is expected that the Handbook will remain in use and current through 2005, at least. The Handbook presents a broad and representative selection of mid-1990s health behaviour findings and concepts in a single work. While texts and books of readings are available in related areas, such as health psychology, medical anthropology, medical sociology, behavioural health, behavioural risk factors, and changing health behaviours, none of these works was intended to address basic research-generated knowledge of health behaviour, and none was intended to transcend individual disciplines. Accordingly, none of these works presents a broad and representative spectrum of basic health behaviour research reflecting multidisciplinary activities. One work with a title identical to this one but for one word, the Handbook of Health Behaviour Change (Shumaker et al., 1990), deals almost exclusively with applications. This Handbook thus presents the reader with the "state of the art" in health behaviour research, something not found elsewhere.
