Children are affected by contaminants and pollutants differently than adults. If you have children in your household you should be especially concerned about the tap water that they are using.
The EPA standards used to establish what is "safe" for drinking water is based on health effects for the average adult. So, the health of all of those who are not average, including babies, pregnant women and their unborn, the elderly, and the chronically ill, may not be getting "safe" water from their water taps.
Infants and children drink more water than adults compared to their body weight. Also, children are still developing. The body functions that allow adults to filter out toxins do not work as well, if at all, in children.
You really should consider using home water purifiers and filters.
