There are lots of man-made chemicals in drinking water!

CNN: Public Water Supply is unsafe for millions of Americans

Millions of American may be drinking water with unsafe levels of industrial chemicals.

These chemicals, known as polyfluoroalkyl and perfluoroalkyl substances or PFASs, have been linked to high cholesterol, obesity, hormone suppression -- and even cancer.

Persistent Chemicals

Although PFASs are very versatile organic compounds that are used for making packaging materials, these chemicals can be hazardous to humans. Due to the ubiquity of PFASs, they are found everywhere in our environment and they eventually permeate through our drinking water. If these chemicals accumulate in the human body, they may alter the cholesterol levels and timing of puberty. However, current studies have not shown all the physical effects that PFASs have on humans.

Public Water Supply

The EPA conducts stringent regulations and quality checks on drinking water in America every year. The EPA discovered that over 6 million people have been exposed to drinking water that have chemicals such as perfluorooctanesulfonic acid and perfluorooctanoic acid. Moreover, the study showed that 16.5 million Americans have one of six types of PFASs in their drinking water at or above the maximum EPA limit.

Further studies from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public health expose greater concern for the use of these chemicals as they may affect children’s immune system. In the research conducted by Dr. Philippe Grand jean, he realized that PFASs could decrease the level of antibodies against diphtheria and tetanus in young teenagers. In addition, these chemicals disrupt the immune health for children which reduces the effectiveness of vaccines

Extensive studies on environmental chemicals prove that they can lower the risk of humans being exposed to them. For example, perfluorooctanoic acid has been studied rigorously and meticulously by researchers who have discovered the detrimental effects. As a result, the EPA has imposed regulations to prohibit the production of these chemicals.
