WHY EXPLORE WATER TESTING IN FLORIDA? More Floridians are exposed to unsafe drinking water than just about anywhere in the country, according to a study of violations. The state ranked second in the number of people impacted by violations under the Safe Drinking Water Act based on the most recent data available from 2015, the Natural Resources Defense Council said. Nationally, 77 million people were exposed to unsafe water, with violations including high levels or toxic arsenic, lead and other chemicals, as well as failure to test or report contamination. “The problem is two-fold: there’s no cop on the beat enforcing our drinking water laws, and we’re living on borrowed time with our ancient, deteriorating water infrastructure,” Erik Olson, NRDC’s health program director, said in a statement. “We take it for granted that when we turn on our kitchen tap, the water will be safe and healthy, but we have a long way to go before that is reality across our country.” WHAT'S BEEN FOUND IN TAP WATER IN FLORIDA? INORGANIC CONTAMINANTS: * Arsenic: Can cause skin cancer, bladder cancer, and other health problems. * Chromium-6: Linked to increased cancer risk. * Lead: Can cause brain damage and other developmental problems, especially in children. * Nitrate: Can be harmful to infants and pregnant women, and can cause a condition called "blue baby syndrome." * Radium: Can increase the risk of bone cancer. ORGANIC CONTAMINANTS: * Haloacetic acids (HAA5): A group of chemicals formed during the disinfection process, which may increase the risk of cancer. * Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA): Man-made chemicals used in various industrial processes, linked to developmental and reproductive problems. * Trihalomethanes (THM4): Another group of disinfection byproducts, also linked to an increased risk of cancer. * Ethylene dibromide (EDB): A pesticide that can cause cancer. * Tetrachloroethylene (PCE): A solvent used in dry cleaning, linked to liver and kidney damage. * Temik: An insecticide that has been linked to birth defects. DANGEROUS BACTERIA AND VIRUSES FOUND IN FLORIDA'S DRINKING WATER: * Fecal coliforms/E. coli: Indicates the presence of fecal matter and can cause gastrointestinal illness. * Giardia lamblia: A parasite that can cause diarrhea, stomach cramps, and dehydration. * Cryptosporidium: Another parasite that can cause gastrointestinal illness, especially in people with weakened immune systems. * Legionella: A bacterium that can cause Legionnaires' disease, a serious lung infection. * Hepatitis A virus: Can cause liver inflammation and jaundice. It is important to note that this list is not exhaustive and may not include all dangerous chemicals, bacteria, and viruses that have been found in Florida's drinking water. Additionally, the presence of these contaminants may vary depending on location and water source. Here are some resources where you can find more information about the quality of your drinking water: * Florida Department of Health: https://www.floridahealth.gov/environmental-health/drinking-water/index.html * Florida Department of Environmental Protection: https://floridadep.gov/ * Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): https://www.epa.gov/ground-water-and-drinking-water It is always important to be aware of the potential contaminants in your drinking water and take steps to protect yourself and your family.
