Episode notes
It is crucial to assess water quality before consumption. When checking water quality, it is advisable to look for signs like brown color, sludginess, flammability, and glowing in the dark. Testing water can be done by government agencies or through online tests, or by boiling the water, although boiling does not eliminate all contaminants. The age of pipes can affect water quality, as seen in instances like the Flint water crisis. Certain locations like Flint, Michigan, Newark, Phoenix, and rural farming areas in California have experienced water quality issues such as lead contamination, cancer risks from acetic acid, chromium six, arsenic, and uranium. Conversely, some areas like Rhode Island, South Dakota, and Minnesota are known for having good tap water.
