| name | Deprecated PhenX measure - environmental exposures - water source | ||
| description | Questions asking about the drinking water source and use of water filtration systems in the respondent's home. Some water sources contain contaminants and disinfection byproducts that may adversely affect a person's health. Public (municipal) water systems receive disinfection and other treatments that may remove some contaminants in order to comply with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) drinking water regulations. Private wells are not regulated by EPA and can contain high levels of potentially dangerous chemicals such as arsenic, nitrate, and pesticides. The likelihood that a private well has contaminants differs by well depth, well construction, location, and characteristics of the soil and aquifer. Additional information about the type of water filtration system used by the household is also valuable because the effectiveness of contaminant removal varies by type of filtration system. | ||
