The Environmental Working Group (EWG) has found that tap water in at least 31 states is contaminated with arsenic at levels above the legal limit.
While much attention as of late is focused on PFAS “forever chemicals” in the water supply, it cannot be overlooked that arsenic, a metal naturally found in the earth’s crust, is also problematic.
Particularly in the American Southwest, arsenic-contaminated water is a serious issue that is only being made worse by pesticide use on crops and industrial processes like cement manufacturing, both of which leave behind toxic residues in groundwater used for drinking.
