We're quite happy with the results.

Peace, Andy Hi Ross,

There's not much of this stuff in the water. You're getting more poisons from the containers your food is stored in. That said, my dad works in water quality. If you're gung-ho about getting really clean drinking water, you want a device called a reverse osmosis filter. It's a molecular-level filter that delivers distilled purity at a lower cost. Super-clean water. Mine runs to a separate tap by my sink. They're not super-cheap, but they're out there. But this is pretty low on my list of things to worry about... The chemistry student has it.

First of all, I am a general chemistry student and this topic has been discussed in our classroom a few times already. Chemical detection techniques have become so advanced that even the slightest trace of a chemical, even up to parts per billion or TRILLION, can be detected. Heck, you could probably name a metal or some harmful substance and it could be detected in water but when it is present in such SMALL amounts, it does not present a health risk. It is very likely that these news reporters have hyped up the whole ordeal by saying such and such chemicals have been detected in the water supply in order to get attention. However, based on what I know, that's just my opinion. Well, I thought I’d give my two cents on this.

There are plenty of water purifying options out there. I recommend doing some research on distilled water or filtered rainwater rather than moving to an area with a

I'd like to think that would be a pretty efficient solution... (I'd certainly prefer doing that than moving house!)

Avoid bottled water (which is frequently much worse than muni water supplies) and live in a place with a good watershed. Water quality, like air quality, is not the same everywhere. And the minute quantities of the drugs found in that report are unlikely to have significant effects, anyway. I'd worry a hell of a lot more about pesticides and arsenic. What the other poster said.
