All About Water The Worsening Contamination
of Water The Environmental Working Group (EWG) reported that it had tested 29 Midwestern cities and towns and found that all had herbicides present in the drinking water. In one Illinois city, they found that the level of the weed killer cyanazine in the public water supply was 34 times above the federal standards. The EWG estimated that 20 to 25 million Americans are now drinking water polluted with herbicides. Research in laboratories has shown a higher incidence of cancer and birth defects in animals fed with food containing herbicides . The EWG conservatively attributed at least 1000 deaths each year, and about 400,000 cases of waterborne illness, to contaminated tap water. Besides hazards for the unsuspecting general population, experts have noted the serious health consequences that exist for infants and children.
