Health Guidelines are established by EWG to protect public health. They are based on the latest science, data, and research on water pollution.
Health Guidelines tend to be more stringent than federal legal limits, as the vast majority of legal limits have not been updated in decades.
Legal limits do not exist for hundreds of dangerous contaminants that have been detected in public water supplies and proven to pose health risks.

This database gives you a complete and transparent assessment of your water quality based on test results from your local water supplier. All public water systems must abide by federal regulations—also known as legal limits—set and monitored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). However, the vast majority of legal limits have not been updated in decades and hundreds of dangerous contaminants remain unregulated today. That’s why we’ve also provided EWG Health Guidelines, which are based on the latest science, data, and research on water pollution. Keep scrolling for more details about the contaminants detected in your water supply and how to best protect yourself and your family.
