What Could Be In The Water Your Pets Are Drinking
All public water systems contain some level of one or more unhealthful chemicals. Regulations only require periodic testing of about 86 toxic chemicals. There are now more than 75,000 chemicals used in our society with more than 1,000 new ones being developed each year.
So far, more than 2,100 toxic chemicals have been detected in America's water systems. And there are more than 75,000 patented chemical compounds in use today.
