Water Contamination

Let Us Help Evaluate Your Water Contamination Case

You can reasonably expect that the water we drink, including bottled water, may contain some contaminants. However, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has set standards for over 30 types of these contaminants in the water we drink because there are limits to how much of these chemicals are safe for human consumption. Microbes, radionuclides, inorganic contaminants, synthetic organic contaminants, and disinfectants are all types of dangerous substances that can enter our drinking water.

Toxic levels of these chemicals have been linked to cancer, anemia, gastrointestinal problems, liver and kidney damage, bronchitis, autoimmune diseases and death. All it takes is one polluter to be negligent in how they dispose of toxic chemicals or who is ignorant to the dangers chemical by-products have on human health. For example, benzene is a major source of water contamination most often caused by runoff from industrial sites. The benzene seeps into the ground, contaminating soil and groundwater. Benzene exposure can lead to serious diseases, including rare types of cancer and can also cause vomiting, stomach irritation, convulsions, and even death.
