Water contaminant that meets the concentration levels under the federal regulations may still be unhealthy for people with severely compromised immune systems. According to EPA, “such people with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, people who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other particularly at risk from infections” are urged to seek advice about their drinking water.
As a result, it’s recommended that people with severely compromised immune systems should do additional testing of their drinking water even beyond that of the water authorities. The water testing will give you an understanding whether or not your water is safe enough to drink. Home water testing kits are available on the market to analyze for individual contaminants like chlorine, bacteria, lead, zinc, fluoride, and more.
