The State of our Nation’s Tap Water and the Importance of Pure Water to the Health and Development of our Children

June 18, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Health News
Long Beach, NY— A recent report published by the Environmental Working Group gives us cause for concern of our Nation’s tap water. After a two and a half year investigation, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) concluded that the tap water in 42 states is contaminated with more then 140 unregulated chemicals. During the testing performed by EWG, a total of 260 contaminants were found in our nation’s tap water (in 42 states). Of those, less than 50% have enforceable health limits called maximum contamination levels or MCL’S. Of the unregulated contaminants, 52 have been linked to cancer, 41 to reproductive toxicity, 36 to developmental toxicity, and 16 to immune system damage. Imagine the health risks posed by these contaminants to adults, now consider our children.

Children’s bodies are much different from that of an adult. In a child, many of the crucial defense systems that help protect adults from disease are not yet fully developed, making them much more sensitive to carcinogens, lead, and water-based parasites. Water helps the body flush out toxins and the purer the water, the higher its capacity is to cleanse those harmful compounds. Pure water helps a child’s defense grow stronger, perform better, and gives them the protection they need during those fragile developing years between conception and into their early teens. Keeping our children safe and healthy is our responsibility. Since the health standards that determine how much and what level of contaminants are permitted in our drinking water are based on the potential effects on adults, don’t risk your child’s health.
