Use Filters or Water Treatment Devices.
Wastewater and stormwater are sent to treatment plants in every city to be treated and returned to community service. Despite these efforts and rigorous chemical processes to purify the water, they are apparently not sufficient for human consumption. Consequently, contaminants present in the drinking water that reaches homes can have harmful effects on the skin and body in the short or long term.
As part of health measures, organizations like the EPA recommend the use of filters or devices.
Many filters or water treatment devices are certified by independent organizations for effective lead reduction. Devices that are not designed to remove lead will not be effective. Check manufacturers’ claims through consultations with independent certification organizations that provide lists of certified treatment devices.
