Common Water Contaminants
Chlorine
Linked to cancer, respiratory issues, hair, skin and eye dryness, impacts on hair texture and color, unpleasant taste and odor.
Lead
Linked to developmental delays in children, kidney damage, and high blood pressure, especially harmful in older homes with lead pipes.
Nitrates
Often from agricultural runoff, linked to "blue baby syndrome" in infants, and may increase cancer risk.
Arsenic
Associated with skin conditions, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes.
Mercury
From industrial runoff, mercury can impair brain and nervous system development, particularly in young children and fetuses.
