Midwives & Doulas - Teach Your Clients About The Importance Of Safe Drinking Water


Miscarriage & Birth Defects: The first ever nationwide assessment of Chlorinated-By-Products, known as CBP's, in drinking water - Consider The Source - released by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) & U.S. Public Interest Research Group (USPIRG), shows that:

Hundreds of thousands of pregnant women are at elevated risk of miscarriage or having children with birth defects because of drinking municipal water containing a CBP, known as THM's, or Trihalomethanes. The level at which studies show an association with low birth weight of babies is 10ppb. Epidemiological studies have found increased incidence of birth defects in women drinking water containing only 40 ppb THMs. The EPA regulates CBP @ 80ppb.
