Water Filters for Chromium-6: The Erin Brockovich Chemical

9/26/2016

In case you missed it last week, the Erin Brockovich chemical has been found in drinking water ALL ACROSS AMERICA. The dangers of chromium-6 were brought to light in 1993. It's now 23 years later and the government has failed to limit the amounts found in our drinking water. 

In my area of Nashville, it was found as high as .167 when the safe level is .02. That's a HUGE amount considering that this chemical has been known to cause cancer even in small amounts. Check chromium-6 levels in your area. 

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) must be held accountable and pressured to set regulations for our national safety. Here's a quick and easy way to make your voice heard. Please take 15 seconds to sign this petition from the Environmental Working Group. 
Sign the Petition
This is scary stuff and you may be wondering how you can remove this cancer-causing chemical from your drinking water. 

3 Filters That Remove Chromium-6

1
Reverse Osmosis Filter
This is a filter that mounts under the sink so that you can get chemical-free water right out of the kitchen sink. 

EcoPure No Mess Reverse Osmosis System $199


2
Pitcher Filtration System

If a reverse osmosis system is out of your budget right now, a pitcher system might be a good option for your family.  


ZeroWater 8-Cup Pitcher with Light-Up Indicator $30

3
Tumbler Filter

This is a great option for filtering water on the go. 

ZeroWater 26oz Portable Filtration Tumbler $18
I've just learned about ZeroWater Filters but I'm excited about them. You can read their most recent press release which discusses their system certification regarding Chromium-6. 

Don't forget to sign the petition to make your voice heard! We deserve better and the EPA needs to be held to making higher nationwide safety standards.
