Your City Knows About 600 Toxic Chemicals in Your Tap Water. They Only Regulate 11.
EPA scientists have identified over 600 disinfection byproducts in chlorinated tap water—many classified as "possible carcinogens" with links to developmental harm and DNA damage.
But federal limits aren't based on safety. They're "established as a balance between health, treatment cost, and feasibility."
Your city chooses budget over protection. Every single bath.
Here's what makes it worse: Your baby's skin absorbs these chemicals within minutes of contact. Infant skin is significantly more permeable than adult skin—and approximately 80% of chemical exposure happens through skin absorption during baths, not from drinking water.
You can't change city regulations. But you can stop exposing your baby to what they won't remove.
