Cancer-Causing Arsenic Contaminates Tap Water for 70 Million Americans
"By Jamee Hood, Communications Intern, and Sonya Lunder, Senior Analyst " Wednesday, September 20, 2017
Drinking water supplies for 70 million Americans in 48 states are contaminated with arsenic at concentrations above the level scientists say increases the risk of cancer, according to nationwide test results collected in EWG's Tap Water Database.
