EWG Action Fund Tap Water Survey

Question Title

* 1. Should the U.S. BAN harmful PFAS chemicals?

Yes

Question Title

* 2. Which of the contaminants below are you most concerned with finding in your drinking water? (Check all that apply)

Lead, which can harm almost every organ system in the body and has been linked to a staggering array of health effects, including lowered IQ, miscarriage, kidney damage, nervous system problems and endocrine disruption.

Atrazine, one of the most widely used herbicides in the U.S., which can turn male frogs into female frogs and has been linked to breast tumors and delayed puberty.

Chromium-6, a cancer-causing chemical that contaminates the water supplies of more than 200 million Americans in all 50 states.

PFAS chemicals, commonly found in non-stick or stain-resistant household items and some PFAS chemicals have been linked to cancer, endocrine disruption and other health problems.

Question Title

* 3. EWG analysis of unreleased EPA data shows that up to 110 million Americans could have PFAS chemicals in their tap water, but millions have not been informed that their water supply is contaminated. Do you think the federal government should collect and release all taxpayer-funded PFAS testing results?

Yes, I have a right to know if toxic PFAS chemicals are contaminating my water.

No, the government should be able to keep this information secret.

Question Title

* 4. Tap water often contains contaminants in concentrations exceeding the levels that scientists say is safe. Latest research shows that many of the existing legal limits for tap water contaminants allow contaminant levels that can be harmful for children, pregnant women and other vulnerable populations. How concerned are you about questionable legal limits on harmful tap water contaminants?

Very concerned

Concerned

Somewhat concerned

Not at all concerned

Question Title

* 5. EWG analyzed 32 million test results for 517 different contaminants for its new Tap Water Database, including PFAS chemicals, chromium-6 and 1,4-dioxane. EWG's national drinking water database – the only one of its kind – helps consumers like you see which contaminants may be in their water, how they got there and what health problems they’re linked to. How important is having access to an easy-to-use database for reducing your exposure to harmful chemicals in your drinking water?

Extremely important

Important

Somewhat important

Not at all important
