Drugs in our drinking water isn’t just a scary idea from a movie—it’s a reality. Research that has been done on water across the United States has show drugs in tap water not only in major metropolitan areas but in rural areas as well. How is this possible you might ask yourself? Well when people take medications, some of the chemicals are ingested into the body and absorbed while others pass through and eventually infect our drinking supply. Why doesn’t the water treatment plants clean it out? They can’t. It requires too much equipment to get rid of the chemicals which exist in such low levels—although these low levels can have huge impacts on human beings and wildlife.

Also since there are such few regulations on what exactly is considered “clean” drinking water it is relatively easy for drugs in our drinking water to exist. Trace amounts of these pharmaceutical strength drugs are likely to impact humans dramatically in the future—but we have no way of knowing ultimately. Isn’t that scary? It would be great if this were simply fiction, but it isn’t. Safer water drinking measures need to be taken from urban areas all the way to rural areas where almost equally potent levels of chemicals can be found. It is a terrible idea to wait to see what the research reveals when speculators already agree tap water will have an impact on our health.
