Common Chemicals Found in Water

Water can contain a variety of chemicals—both naturally occurring and introduced through human activity. While some are harmless, others can pose serious health risks. Here are some common chemicals found in drinking water:

Lead

Often leaches into water from old pipes and plumbing fixtures, posing risks to brain development, especially in children.

Nitrates and Nitrites

Commonly found in agricultural runoff, these can interfere with oxygen transport in the blood, particularly in infants.

Chlorine and Chloramine

Used to disinfect municipal water, but excessive levels can create harmful byproducts like trihalomethanes.

Arsenic

A naturally occurring element that can cause long-term health issues, including cancer, when present at elevated levels.

Fluoride

Added to municipal water for dental health but can cause fluorosis in excessive amounts.

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)

Industrial pollutants that can enter water sources and have harmful effects on the liver, kidneys, and nervous system.

Iron and Manganese

While not typically hazardous, these can cause staining and unpleasant tastes in water.

Why Water Testing Is Vital

Testing your water is essential to safeguard your health, ensure regulatory compliance, and maintain the overall quality of your water. Here’s why:

Contaminants such as lead, arsenic, and nitrates can have serious health implications – from gastrointestinal illnesses to chronic diseases like cancer. Regular water testing, therefore, helps identify and mitigate these risks.

The EPA sets strict standards for primary and secondary water contaminants. Testing your water ensures it adheres to these guidelines, whether you’re on municipal water or use a private well.

Water quality can change over time due to environmental factors or aging infrastructure. Annual testing, especially for well water, allows you to detect issues early and take corrective action.

High levels of minerals like iron and manganese can lead to pipe corrosion, stains on fixtures, and unpleasant odors. Testing helps identify these secondary contaminants and serves to prescribe proper water treatment solutions.

Knowing your water is free of harmful chemicals and safe for your family provides peace of mind. It results in an improvement in your health and quality of life.
