There are Carcinogens in Your Tap Water, But Don't Freak Out Too Much
"These findings are 'in a similar range of cumulative cancer risk as air pollution ... but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t go outside, or stop breathing air,' said Daniel McCurry, a researcher in environmental engineering who studies drinking water systems who was not involved with the study."
