“For more than a decade, it has been impossible for operators of the Indian Point nuclear power plant to stop highly radioactive reactor and spent fuel pool coolant from leaking into the groundwater and migrating to the Hudson River.
“And despite assurances from Entergy that this time will be different, there is no indication that the company has developed the ability to prevent the latest uncontrolled leaks from following the underground waterway into the Hudson. And because the river is a tidal estuary flowing as much as 20 miles above and below the nuclear site, radioactive contaminants may be sucked into the drinking water systems of several river towns.”
HUFFINGTON POST: Indian Point Contaminates the Hudson River With Uncontrollable Radioactive Flow
This is just another example of unknown water contaminants that might be in your drinking water. Contamination occurs long before it is detected.
If you are drinking tap water, it’s likely that it contains chlorine or chloramines, fluoride, heavy metals, perhaps radiation, and unknown contaminants of various sorts.
Your best protection is to get a water filter that removes a broad spectrum of known pollutants and unknown contaminants.
The water filter I use in my own home is made by Pure Effect. It’s state of the art filtration removes just about everything that might be in your water that you don’t want to put in your body.
