What's in Your Child's Drinking Water?


An Associated Press investigation recently revealed the presence of a multitude of drugs, including antibiotics, sex hormones, anticonvulsants, and mood stabilizers in the drinking water of 41 million Americans. Although the concentrations were tiny, scientists are worried about what the consequences might be for the public.
