Unregulated Drinking Water Contaminants

The information below, taken from the EPA website tells us that there are currently 51 contaminants in our drinking water that the EPA has identified as potentially dangerous to our health. No regulation of these 51 contaminants will be put in place until studies have been completed. In the meantime, our health could be impacted by these contaminants without us even being aware.

The public has a choice to wait for the test results and EPA regulations of the 51 contiminants or to use home water filtration systems to remove these potentially unsafe elements from the water they drink.

Drinking Water Contaminant Candidate List (CCL): "EPA has drinking water regulations for more than 90 contaminants. The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) includes a process that we must follow to identify new contaminants which may require regulation in the future. EPA must periodically release a Contaminant Candidate List (CCL). EPA uses this list of unregulated contaminants to prioritize research and data collection efforts to help us to determine whether we should regulate a specific contaminant.

In February 2005, we published the second CCL of 51 contaminants. We also provided an update on our work to improve the CCL process for the future that is based, in part, on recommendations from the National Research Council and the National Drinking Water Advisory Council."
