My Water

I get my water from Mountain Water Association in Smithfield, Pa. and for our environmental chem assignment we had to research what was in our drinking water.  I found out that there are six chemicals detected two of which are above the health limit.  The chemicals are halo acetic acids, trihalomethanes, xylene's, ethyl benzene, nitrate, and beryllium.YUMMY!!!! Some of these chemicals can cause injury to the brain, nerves, liver, kidneys, eyes,and reproductive systems.  Some may increase the risk of cancer, and may decrease fertility and cause spontaneous abortion YIKES!!!!  Some have been linked to blood effects including leukemia!!! Now these effects are only possible if you are exposed to these chemicals when they are over the health limit and when they are exposed over time so don't be so scared.  It may not be as bad as drinking sewage.... but if things keep going the way they are, it could soon be that bad.  My water doesn't taste bad, but it does have a light metallic taste to it.  It makes me wonder if I should continue drinking my water. Hopefully i don't die of cancer at age 40 because of drinking something that is supposed to be good for me.  It shows what the world is turning to.
