Our Environment

I found this handy water quality chart for identifying possible contaminates in tap water.

The chart breaks down to three categories; visual, smell, and taste. Once you have narrowed your water problem down you can then compare to a water contaminate chart and if you have a ppm (parts per million) meter you can see if the contaminate is above safe level. PPM meters can generally be bought for less than one hundred dollars at your local hydroponic or garden supply store.
