Hi Donna,
Thank you for posting! The problem is bad in all city water even where you live in Indiania.
Here is a partial list of heavy metals, chemicals, pesticides, and herbicides that can be present in you're tap water and the health risks they present:
Arsenic V.....Nervous system; Liver and kidney damage Benzene...........Endoctrine Distruptor,Cancer Toxaphene....Cancer, luekemia, and anemia Pentachclorophenol...Liver and kidney damage; cancer Carbon Tetrachloride...Cancer Chlordane..Nervous system and muscle damage; cancer Lead.........Nervous system and kidney damage Mercury......Kidney, nervous system disorders
I am leaving at least 20 others off the list, but you get the idea.
