Penggunaan Kaporit Bisa Memicu Kanker

Shear Blog - Teknologi yang dipakai oleh perusahaan air minum (PAM) saat ini dinilai sudah ketinggalan zaman dan malah bisa membahayakan kesehatan. Kaporit untuk memurnikan air bisa memicu kanker jika digunakan secara berlebihan dan terus menerus.

"Di banyak negara, chlor (kaporit) sudah mulai ditinggalkan dan diganti teknologi lain yang lebih aman misalnya ultraviolet," ungkap pakar teknik lingkungan dari Fakultas Kesehatan Masyarakat Universitas Indonesia, Dr Ir Setyo Sarwanto Mursidik, dalam seminar "Pencemaran Air Minum: Dampak Kesehatan dan Solusinya" di kampus FKM UI Depok, Senin (21/3/2011).

Menurut Ir Setyo, kaporit dalam air PAM sebetulnya tidak banyak. Untuk menjaga kualitas bakteriologis di jaringan terjauh, kaporit hanya dibutuhkan sebanyak 0,2 ppm.

Namun karena buruknya jaringan PAM terutama di kota besar seperti Jakarta, kaporit yang digunakan bisa lebih banyak agar bisa menjangkau pelanggan yang jaraknya cukup jauh. Akibatnya, kadarnya bisa lebih tinggi dari yang seharusnya yakni 0,2 ppm.

"Di kolam renang saja kita bisa merasakan sendiri, kaporit yang terlalu tinggi bisa menyebabkan iritasi kulit apalagi jika diminum, masuk saluran pencernaan. Chlor atau chlorin bersifat karsinogenik sehingga bisa menyebabkan kanker," ungkap Ir Setyo.

Ir Setyo menambahkan, secara teknis tidak mungkin ada solusi tunggal untuk mengatasi masalah pencemaran air. Penggunaan kaporit tidak bisa digantikan dengan satu metode saja, melainkan harus mengombinasikan berbagai metode pemurnian air agar hasilnya lebih aman.

Ia mencontohkan, metode pemurnian air yang bisa dikombinasikan adalah reverse osmosis (RO). Metode ini dinilai paling ekonomis dan mampu menghilangkan 90-99 persen kontaminan, termasuk bakteri dan material organik berukuran di atas 300 dalton.

Namun karena melibatkan membran-membran yang sangat ketat, metode ini menghasilkan laju aliran yang lambat. Keterbatasan ini membuat metode RO tidak bisa mengolah air dalam jumlah banyak, sehingga tetap harus dikombinasikan dengan metode yang lain.

Slow Cooker Rootbeer Pulled Pork Recipe

 This is a reader recipe sent in by Monique, who calls this particular dish her "one successful slow cooker recipe."

Your pork is MUCH MORE than successful, Monique---it's out-of-the-ball-park wonderful. I served 5 kids and 3 adults sandwiches with this meat (with a side of tater tots) and EVERYONE cleaned their plates.

Thank you, Monique!!

The Ingredients.
serves 6 (adult-size servings)
2 pounds boneless pork shoulder roast (butt)
1 large yellow onion, sliced in rings
1-2 tablespoons Tabasco sauce (start with 1, then season to taste after cooking and tasting)
1 cup chili sauce (near ketchup in the grocery aisle. if you want to make it, use 1 cup ketchup, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1/2 tsp allspice, 1/4 tsp ginger, 1 tsp chili powder---it's not identical, but pretty darn close)
2 cups root beer
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 hamburger buns or soft rolls (I make them myself, or use toasted Udi's white bread to keep it gluten free)

The Directions.

Use a 4-quart slow cooker. A 6-quart is fine, but your meat will cook faster.
Put the meat into your pot, and add sliced onion. top with Tabasco sauce, chili sauce, root beer, and vanilla. cover and cook on low for about 8 hours, or until pork shreds easily with a fork. I plopped my pork in fully frozen, and it took 10 hours on low to be shreddy.

Serve over rice, or on toasted breads or buns.

The Verdict.

This is such a quick and easy recipe that makes everyone in the house happy. The rootbeer has a nice sweetness that really brings out the hint of ginger from the chili sauce. It's easily adaptable spice-wise, and is a great way to feed a houseful of people on a limited budget. 
Thanks again to Monique for sharing her secret to slow cooking success!

There's a new video up over on Real Moms Making Real Money (at home, in their pajamas) with Leah Ingram. Leah has written 13 books and shares her publishing and publicizing expertize and goal-setting advice. There's also a giveaway for her new book--- so go check it out!

2008 Flashback:

March 1 Vegetarian Curry (have too many cans of chickpeas?)
March 2 Mediterranean Chicken (sounds fancy, tastes fantastic, beyond simple to prepare)
March 3 Barbecue Beans & Weenies (good for your heart)
March 4 Use Your CrockPot as a Rice Cooker (who needs another appliance, anyways?)
March 5 Cabbage Soup Diet (you can thank Amie :-) )
March 6 White Chili (and this one is from Headless Mom!)
March 7 Bananas Foster (cruise ship not needed)
March 8 Broccoli Beef (one of our favorite takeout fakeout dinners)
March 9 Seafood Alfredo (3 years ago I didn't know how to make a proper roux. now I do. :-0 )

What?! It's March? What happened to February?

 
recycled picture. originally from crockpot party


Dude. February completely disappeared. 

that's not okay.

We've been battling the flu. This was the first cold/flu season in about 4 years where we opted to not get a flu shot (for no reason, really----we weren't reminded by the pediatrician, and were apparently not in the high-risk group), and so I can anecdotally declare that flu shots work.

~~~Quickly ducking so I don't get hit with a squashed tomato from the flu-shots-are-evil people~~~

So anyway, that's where I've been. Tending to sick, cranky people. 
I don't have a new recipe today, but have instead rounded up all of the 2008 Flashbacks that I wasn't able to send out. Fingers crossed that the snot, fevers, and all-around-ickiness (you don't want to know, trust me...) stays away next week and everyone is back at school/work and we get back to normal around here.

Normal. HA!


February 8 Whole Chicken in the Slow Cooker (did you know I used to work at the zoo?)
February 10 Stuffed Artichoke  these are such weird vegetables.
February 11 Black Bean Soup
(I'm getting tired of typing out the word FEBRUARY)
(in case you were wondering)
February 12 Creme Brulee (and then I got excited and emailed the Rachael Ray Show)
February 13 Rocky Road Candy (yes, please.)
February 14 Tofu in Peanut Sauce (tofu holds up remarkably well in the slow cooker)
February 15 Fish Chowder
February 16 Tortilla Soup (I've made this twice this past week)
February 18 Chicken Lettuce Wraps (who needs PF Changs?)
February 19 Pomegranate Beef (how I keep Adam happy)
February 20 Sweet Potato Soup
February 21 Veal Marsala (apologies to the vegans in our midst)
February 23 Original Taco Soup (made this more times that I can count; the internet loves this "soup")
February 24 Chicken and Rice Soup (comfort food. super good for you; low in calories)
February 25 Chocolate Fudge Cake (ooh, I forgot about this one)
February 26 Chicken Parmesan (made this two weeks ago, delicious, then used the leftovers in Pasta Fagioli)
February 27 Hearty Ox Tail Stew (mmm.)
February 28 Creamy Risotto (no better way to make risotto. super simple, and no stirring!)
February 29 (darn leap year!) Buffalo Wing Dip (MAKE THIS. TRUST ME.)

So there you go! Hopefully that'll keep you busy for a while. If you're reading this in a reader, or through email, you may not have had the opportunity to see that I've put together a Table of Contents that you might find useful.

REAL LIFE, NOT A MAGAZINE
It's got kind of a nice ring to it, don't you think? :-)


What's in your pot today? I dug through the freezer bin and threw together a beef stew, since we're housebound and I can't get to the store. I loosely followed my own recipe, but since there as many versions of beef stew as there are missing Barbie shoes, I also tossed in some leftover mixed vegetables and garlic brown rice couscous.


Happy March! Happy Slow Cooking!
