Water utilities and regulators in the US have identified 56 new contaminants in drinking water over the past two years, a list that includes dangerous substances linked to a range of health problems such as cancer, reproductive disruption, liver disease and much more.

The revelation is part of an analysis of the nation’s water utilities’ contamination records by the Environmental Working Group, a clean water advocate that has now updated its database for the first time since 2019.

It found that the jump is partly driven by newly identified PFAS, a toxic class of “forever chemicals” that are widely used across dozens of industries and are thought to be contaminating drinking water for more than 100 million people. Pesticides, water disinfectant byproducts and radioactive materials are among other substances identified by regulators.

1. This site is a sales pitch for water filters.

They misidentified my water source (I have a well and so does everyone in my zip code.)
Then proceeded to pitch their products. A much better source is the US Geological Survey site.
They're not trying to sell me anything.

4. They have a fun history

They were some OG anti-vaxxers. Also the GMO people.

Suffice to say, alarmism is kind of their thing. Even scientists are all, "WTF, mate?" When the Journal of Toxicology says your studies lack scientific credibility, uh . . .

2. I have the "zerowater" pitcher-type filter. It is quite good.

Makes the Florida water taste good, or rather, not at all.
