"When EWG analyzed 32 million water records from across the country, we were shocked at the results. Out of almost 50,000 utilities studied, 45,000 detected contaminants linked to cancer. And 10,000 community water systems detected higher lead concentrations than what the American Academy of Pediatrics called safe for children."  "That’s the bad news, but the good news is we’ve created a one-of-a-kind database so you can find out exactly what’s in your tap water and which filters you can use to protect yourself and your family. Our results are already making headlines, but you can take an in-depth look for yourself right now.
