One perfect, well known example is that of Donald Trump. He and the Republican Party haven't just created a hero, a bigger than life, fictional politician who admires Mussolini, Putin, Orban, Erdogan and other world leaders (?) o.k. world despots but an actual myth around Mr. Trump. He allegedly is the only one who can unite America and make it great again. Or some such bull#@*%.
Uniroyal/Crompton/Chemtura and now Lanxess have created a similar myth. Their myth is that the cleanup of Elmira's air, waters and soils are and always have been in good hands and under control. This false myth is obvious when 35 years after the November 1989 Elmira Water Crisis our contaminated aquifers aren't even close to being drinkable (NDMA MU .091 ug/l ML 1.61 ug/l) average concentrations and chlorobenzene average concentrations are MU 123 ug/l and ML 173 ug/l . Now keep in mind these are all in ug/l which equals parts per billion (ppb) and the drinking water standards are .009 ppb for NDMA and 80 ppb for chlorobenzene. (MU = Municipal Upper ML = Municipal Lower.)
Hence NDMA's currently on average concentration is between TEN and SIXTEEN HUNDRED times greater than the Ontario Drinking Water Standards depending on which drinking aquifer is examined.
Chlorobenzene's currently on average concentration is between ONE & A HALF and TWICE times greater than the Ontario Drinking Water Standards depending on which drinking aquifer is examined.
Of course the professional liars haven't mentioned the other hundred or more toxic chemicals also in our drinking water aquifers. Not to worry they say, those too will eventually be removed. Sure they will along with NDMA and chlorobenzene in another 30 to 60years depending on the quality of the lying between now and then.
