Your intestine has bacteria that could, if they multiply too quickly, cause illness and disease, however, it also has good bacteria that work on your behalf, destroying harmful pathogens, or the bad bacteria.

Indoor Air Pollution Facts: What is Indoor Air Pollution and How to Reduce it How is the Air Quality in your Home?

Indoor air pollution facts, what is indoor air pollution we ask? We typically don’t think our homes have air quality problems, as we cannot see it for the most part. It isn’t like we have billowing plumes of smoke coming out of our vents or floorboards, at least not in the sense like those which we see outdoors and are easily identifiable. This is why it is difficult to realize we may have a problem and what to do about it. Once we know the sources of our problems, then we can take steps to correct or minimize those problems and find solutions to clean the air, possibly with air cleaners, so to speak and make our homes into healthier environments for us and our families and loved ones.

Indoor air pollution has been described by the EPA and Congress as America’s number one environmental health problem and indoor air pollution can be four to five times worse than outdoor air and even greater. The Department of Consumer Affairs states that children and the elderly are the ones most affected by polluted indoor air.

We spend about 90% of our time indoors and all this gets breathed into us and our children. Air pollutants can and do cause allergies, sick building syndrome, bacterial infections and spread viruses to name a few. The American College of Allergists state that 50% of all illnesses are caused by polluted indoor air. They state that 10 to 12 million people in the US suffer from asthma and that asthma is the single largest cause of hospital visits by children.

List of Drinking Water Contaminants & Their Maximum Contaminant Level: Disinfection Byproducts

Our chart for the drinking water contaminants associated with disinfection byproducts follows below.

These byproducts are formed when disinfectants used in water treatment plants react with bromide and/or natural organic matter (i.e., decaying vegetation) present in the source water. Different disinfectants produce different types or amounts of byproducts. Byproducts from the disinfection process for which regulations have been established have been identified in drinking water, including trihalomethanes, haloacetic acids, bromate, and chlorite.

List of Drinking Water Contaminants & Their Maximum Contaminant Level: Disinfectants

Drinking water contaminants also include disinfectants. What are disinfectants, how are they used, and what are their health effects in drinking water at levels above the maximum residual disinfectant level?

What are EPA’s drinking water regulations for disinfectants?

In 1974, Congress passed the Safe Drinking Water Act to control drinking water contaminants. This law requires EPA to determine the level of residual disinfectants in drinking water at which no adverse health effects are likely to occur. These non-enforceable health goals, based solely on possible health risks and exposure over a lifetime, with an adequate margin of safety, are called maximum residual disinfectant level goals (MRDLG). Contaminants are any physical, chemical, biological or radiological substances or matter in water. EPA sets MRDLGs based on the best available science to prevent potential health problems.
