- Bromodichloromethane
- Chloroform
- Chromium (hexavalent)
- Dichloroacetic Acid
- Total trihalomethanes (TTHMs)
- Trichloroacetic Acid
- Each of these chemicals is known to cause cancer in humans. And this list doesn’t even take into account the other harmful Nitrates and Chlorates that the EWG found in New York’s water supply.
These contaminates enter the water supply in a number of ways:
- Water Treatment Centers Add Chemicals
- Chemical Run off From Industry Ends Up in Water Beds
- Fertilizers, Pet Waste, and Cleaning Products Seep into the Water Table
All of these chemicals find their way into streams, reservoirs, and then ultimately into your home. So, what can you do to protect yourself? In their report, the EWG recommends finding a good water filter system for home to remove dangerous chemicals from your drinking water.
