Water Contamination Comes from a Variety of Sources

“Americans have good reason to worry about the safety of the drinking water that flows from their taps…” The Environmental Working Group (EWG) found a total of 316 contaminants in water supplied to 256 million Americans

A Primary Recommendation of Presidents Cancer Panel report released in May of 2010: “Filtering home tap or well water can decrease exposure to numerous known or suspected carcinogens and endocrine‐disrupting chemicals”
