Common Office Drinking Water Contaminants
- Heavy Metals
Lead, mercury, and arsenic are all heavy metals that can be found in drinking water that doesn't meet water purification standards.
- Chlorine
Chlorine is used in municipal water treatment to ward off water-borne disease, but it can sometimes give drinking water a “chemical” taste and smell.
- Bacteria
Water can become contaminated with human or animal waste which may result in the presence of E. coli, salmonella, and other contaminants.
- Nitrates
Nitrates can accumulate in drinking water due to erosion of natural deposits in the ground, fertilizer use, and manure applications.
- Pesticides
Pesticides that are sprayed on crops and plants also make their way into public drinking water supplies.
