- Legal does not necessarily equal safe. Getting a passing grade from the federal government does not mean the water meets the latest health guidelines.
- Legal limits for contaminants in tap water have not been updated in almost 20 years.
- The best way to ensure clean tap water is to keep pollution out of source water in the first place.

The disinfection of public water supplies by chlorination is common throughout the world today. It has remained a popular disinfectant choice, despite alternative disinfectants being available. With the discovery of disinfection by-products (DBPs), a spectrum of halogenated compounds formed by reactions between naturally occurring organic matter in the water and the added chlorine, concerns have arisen concerning their impact on human health. The benefits of preventing many serious diseases continue to largely outweigh the potential risks, but further research is needed to quantify both risks and benefits.
Exposure to DBPs, such as trihalomethanes (THMs), may occur through ingestion, inhalation, or dermal absorption during activities such as cooking and washing up, showering and bathing, fluid intake, and swimming. For other DBPs, such as haloacetic acids, ingestion is the main exposure route.10 The approach employed in studies to assess the exposure of pregnant women to chlorination DBPs has been mainly based on the water source or treatment and the concentration of total THMs in the municipal water source of the subject.5,10 This ignores the individual variability in the fluid intake, and showering, bathing, and swimming patterns of pregnant women, which may be important determinants for exposure to chlorination DBPs.10 This could produce exposure misclassification and hence attenuation in risk estimates and/or loss of statistical power.
