Twitter Chat – What’s in Your Water: The State of Water and Our Health
Every year in the US, as many as 900,000 people fall ill and 900 die from waterborne diseases. Waterborne illnesses cause an estimated 40,000 hospitalizations each year at a cost of $970 million annually. Two out of five Americans rate their quality of water as poor. So, what’s going on here? And what can we do about it?
