Your Water, Your Health

Our bodies are 70 percent water; water is the foundation of our health. However, new pollutants and organisms are entering our water supply every day, and these new contaminants pose a stiff challenge for our water-treatment facilities. Organisms like cryptosporidium can be fatal and often slip past conventional treatments. Besides the ever-present threat of heavy metals and chemicals, new compounds like chloramines, trihalomethanes, MTBE, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are a real threat to our long-term health. Find out just how many health-threatening contaminants are in your water right now. And find out how to best remove them from your water in your own home.Woodland Publishing Staff is the author of 'Your Water, Your Health ' with ISBN 9781580543439 and ISBN 158054343X.
