America's Drinking Water Crisis: The Shocking Truth About the Contaminants in Our Taps If you thought America's drinking water problems started and ended in Flint, Michigan, think again. New York Times bestselling author Seth M. Siegel reveals how chemicals linked to cancer, heart disease, obesity, birth defects, and lowered IQ routinely spill from our taps, from big cities and suburbs to the rural heartland. Who's to blame? The EPA, Congress, powerful governors and mayors, chemical companies, drinking water utilities, and even NASA and the Pentagon. Meanwhile, the bottled water industry fuels fears about tap water, but bottled water is often no safer. Existing technologies could launch a new age of clean, healthy, and safe tap water for just a few dollars a week per person. Scrupulously researched, Troubled Water is full of shocking stories about contaminated water nationwide and the everyday heroes who have successfully fought for changes in water quality and safety. Siegel concludes with a powerful call to action, outlining what America must do to reverse decades of neglect and play-it-safe inaction by government at all levels to keep our most precious resource safe. This groundbreaking book is a must-read for anyone concerned about the future of our drinking water.
