What are the main water pollutants in the United States?

It has been proven that the water conditions in the United States are generally not the most suitable for human consumption. Specialized sources say that some natural water sources are not even recommended for fishing and swimming. Do you know what the major water contaminants are in the United States? At Property Care, we’ll tell you a few.

National media have reported that the contamination of U.S. drinking water with man-made chemicals is “much worse” than previously estimated, with some of the highest levels recorded in Miami, Philadelphia, and New Orleans. 

In fact, from Property Care, we had mentioned that Florida was ranked as the number two state with the most contaminated water in the country, according to a study conducted by the National Toxicology Program (NTP). According to this organization’s report, this is due, in part, to the pesticides and fertilizers used in commercial agriculture and residential yards.

Major sources of water pollution in the U.S. include urban runoff, stormwater runoff, and waste disposal that does not break down in the environment.

In addition, these components have been linked to cancer, liver damage, low birth weight, and other health problems. That is why it is considered vital to have water purification systems in homes until these problems are resolved. We specialize in installing these systems to ensure your well-being and that of your loved ones.

According to the Environmental Working Group (EWG), chemicals that are abundant in U.S. water sources have been used in products such as Teflon and firefighting foam. Some are used in other industrial products and processes, and replacing them also poses risks.
