Arsenic
Arsenic
is a heavy metal known to be very toxic. People who drink water that
contains arsenic beyond EPA's standard for many years could go through
several serious health issues. These could include problems with the
bladder, heart, kidney, liver and lungs.
Arsenic can cause damage
to the central and peripheral nervous system, as well as the circulatory
system. Exposure to arsenic has been connected to different kinds of
cancers.
Fluoride
Most communities include fluoride in the
water they drink to promote good dental health. It is up to a community
to decide whether they would like to add fluoride to their water. EPA
has set a standard of 4 mg/L fluoride for drinking water. Those who
drink water with fluoride beyond this level for several years could
suffer from bone disease, bone pain and tenderness.
EPA has set
another standard of 2 mg/L to give protection from dental fluorosis.
Whether it comes in a moderate or severe form, dental fluorosis could
lead to the pitting or the brown staining of permanent teeth. This only
takes place in developing teeth before piercing through the gums. Kids
below nine years old should never drink water with more than 2 mg/L of
fluoride.
Lead
Lead typically enters the water system from
plumbing in older establishments. Since August 1998, pipes and plumbing
fittings made from lead have been banned. Pregnant women and children
are the most prone to health risks caused by lead. To avoid lead, know
how to remove it from your drinking water by reading the EPA fact sheet.
Disinfectants
To
kill the germs in drinking water, like e coli and giardia, most water
suppliers add a disinfectant to the water. After heavy rains, your water
system may add more disinfectants to ensure that such germs are killed.
Chlorine
Many
people who drink water with chlorine which is more than EPA's standard
could get irritated eyes and nose, plus stomach ache.
Chloramines
are often formed whenever chlorine and ammonia are combined to treat the
water. Water with chloramines is safe o drink - provided that it
conforms to EPA rules. On the other hand, people exposed to chloramines
beyond EPA's standard may feel some irritation in their eyes, nose and
stomach.
Chlorine Dioxide is added to water to control its taste
and odor. Infants and younger children who drink water with chlorine
dioxide which is more than the EPA's standard could experience anemia
and nervous system effects. The same effects may also take place in
fetuses of pregnant women who drink more than EPA's standard of water
with chlorine dioxide.
Disinfection Byproducts
Disinfection
byproducts are formed whenever disinfectants added to water to kill
germs act in response with naturally-occurring organic matter in it.
Total Trihalomethanes
When
people drink water with trihalomethanes exceeding EPA's standard for
many years, they may experience health issues as regards to their
central nervous systems, kidneys and liver, as well as have a higher
risk of acquiring cancer.
Haloacetic Acids
Those who drink
water with haloacetic acids that are above EPA's standard for several
years have a higher risk of getting cancer.
Bromate
Some individuals who drink water with bromate which is beyond EPA's standard over the years are more prone to getting cancer.
Chlorite
A
number of infants and kids who consume water containing chlorite
greater then EPA's standard could experience anemia and nervous system
effects. Similar effects may also take place in fetuses of pregnant
women.
