Contaminants Detected

⚠️ Contaminants Above Health Guidelines (3)

What is Chlorine (Total)?

Chlorine is a chemical element with the symbol Cl and atomic number 17. It is a yellow-green gas at room temperature and is a strong oxidizing agent. Chlorine is commonly used in water treatment to kill bacteria and other pathogens, making water safe for drinking.

Health Effects

Exposure to chlorine can cause respiratory issues, skin irritation, and eye irritation. Ingesting high levels of chlorine can lead to gastrointestinal distress and other serious health problems.

Affected Organs

Respiratory systemSkinEyesGastrointestinal system

Common Sources

Water treatment processesDisinfection of drinking waterIndustrial discharge

What is Total THMs?

Group of contaminants that form in drinking water systems when a disinfectant, typically chlorine, reacts with organic matter

Health Effects

Drinking water standards for total THMs are based on evidence of carcinogenicity in human and animal studies, as well as liver and kidney toxicity observed in animal studies. Individual THMs have been further associated with developmental, immune, spleen, and genotoxicity.

Affected Organs

Common Sources

Chlorine disinfection interacting with naturally occurring organic matter in distribution systemsTotal THMs are usually higher in surface water than groundwaterThe release of agricultural and industrial chemicals may also contribute to total THMs in drinking water

What is Thallium?

Highly toxic metal produced as a byproduct of smelting and coal-burning facilities and then used primarily in the manufacture of electronic devices. Thallium is frequently found combined with other substances such as bromine, chlorine, fluorine, and iodine to form salts.

Health Effects

Drinking water standards for thallium are set to protect against hair loss, changes in blood chemistry, and kidney, intestine, and liver problems from long-term exposure. Thallium is highly toxic and can be fatal at relatively low doses.

Affected Organs

kidneysgastrointestinalbloodliver

Common Sources

While thallium is a naturally occurring metal found in the environment at very low concentrations, thallium levels in drinking water have risen due to human activity including coal burning, smelting operations, cement manufacturing, and iron and steel productionThallium compounds mix easily in water, so chemical waste from thallium-emitting industries pose a contamination risk to nearby drinking water
