We're doing a story on the EWG's updated Tap Water Database. It's embargoed until Wednesday but they've given us permission to share some of the stats with you. According to the report: The vast majority of the nation's drinking water supplies get a passing grade from federal and state regulatory agencies. However, many of the 250-plus contaminants defected through wafer sampling and testing are at levels that are perfectly legal under the Safe Drinking Wafer Act or state regulations, but well above levels authoritative scientific studies have found to pose health risks. Contaminants defected included: * 93 linked to an increased risk o f cancer. More than 40,000 systems had detections o f known or likely carcinogens exceeding established federal or state health guidelines..levels that pose only negligible health risks., hut. are not legally enforceable. * 78 associated with brain and nervous system damage. * 63 connected to developmental harm to children or fetuses. 38 that may cause fertility problems. * 45 linked to hormonal disruption.

Or do you have a statement you can share with us? Thanks, Carrie Rabin Ex. 6 Sierra Club v. EPA 18cv3472 NDCA Prod 1 ED 002061 00012587-00002
