(Hit on both to enlarge them.)Yes, these are all the chemicals the CDC considers harmful to human health that are readily available for you to absorb, drink or whatever. The list is being updated you can nominate new chemicals to be added. Executive summary. Many of these chemicals are in our drinking water in minute amounts right now. The question is, how does a cocktail of mixing them in small amounts (as in our drinking water) effect people's health? Does the mix create a new problem that wasn't anticipated in the traces of singular pollutants present? The Government agencies don't look at them in a mix nor apply standards that way. The Government standards are only applied to singular chemicals. So if Aldrin (a pesticide), Barium (a metal), a Phthalate and a Hydrocarbon are all present, no one really knows how the mix changes things at very low levels. Maybe a Phthalates enhances Aldrin's absorption? It is like taking drugs, some interact with another with lethal results.
Miami water has, in trace amounts: Arsenic, Barlum, Cadmium. Chloramines, Trihalomethanes, Cyanide, Lead, Dichlorcethylene, Radon, etc. Some stuff they don't even look for...like some of the items on the CDC list.
New chemicals are developed every day, up to 2,500 are screened each year by the EPA.
