Your Water Could Contain Various Toxins
If you live in or near a city and get your water from a municipal water treatment plant, keep in mind that those plants are supposed to filter the water so it’s healthy for you, right? It can cost a lot of money to get rid of all contaminants. Meanwhile, chemicals such as chlorine are used to treat water. This can lead to byproducts linked to reproductive and developmental problems as well as cancer. Municipal water may contain petroleum products, pesticides, herbicides and other things that can negatively affect people’s various systems, including the nervous and reproductive systems.
Pesticides, Herbicides and Pharmaceuticals Can Show Up Too
If you live in a rural area and utilize well water, soil can do a decent job of filtering out contaminants, but you still have to contend with things like pesticides, herbicides and pharmaceuticals making their way into your water supply.
