Troubled Water: What's Wrong with What We Drink

Author Seth M. Siegel reveals how our drinking water has been contaminated, its adverse effects on our health, and the urgent steps needed to ensure its safety.

Contaminants linked to various health issues, including cancer, heart disease, obesity, birth defects, and lowered IQ, seep into our taps from various sources, including the EPA, Congress, powerful governors and mayors, chemical companies, and drinking water utilities, and the bottled water industry. Technologies exist to provide clean, healthy, and safe tap water at a fraction of the cost.

This book presents shocking stories of contaminated water across the country and the everyday heroes who have improved water quality and safety. It concludes with a call to action for government at all levels to address decades of neglect and inaction to safeguard our most precious resource.
