    I was shocked after watching the episode of carte blanche last night.

    Uranium levels in South Africa's tap water is 70 mcg/l and the World Health Organization stipilates that it should not be over 15 mcg/l. Cancer causing levels have been found at levels of 40 micrograms upwards.

    I was wondering if these high levels aren't hazardous for the fish.
