You know how the body works, right? Any contaminants you drink are just processed and expelled, unless they're an actual toxin which is rare in most places worth living in.

Get a filter and save money.

>In a study done by Colborn and colleagues, they examined 353 out of 994 fracking chemicals identified by TEDX in hydraulic fracking operation. They found over 75% of the 353 chemicals affected the skin, eyes, and other sensory organs,52% affected the nervous system, 40% affected the immune system and kidney system, and 46% affected the cardiocascular system and blood.[212]

>In a second study done by Colborn and colleagues, they examined the airborne chemicals due to the fracking process. The group categorized the human tissue types into 12 categories and found 35 chemicals affected the brain/nervous system, 33 the liver/ metabolism, and 30 the endocrine system, which includes reproductive and developmental effects. The categories with the next highest numbers of effects were the immune system (28), cardiovascular/blood (27), and the sensory and respiratory systems (25 each). Eight chemicals had health effects in all 12 categories.[213]

>Airborne chemicals during the fracking process, such as benzene and benzene derivatives, naphthalene, methylene chloride, are either carcinogenic or suspected as a human carcinogen to the human body.[213][214]

It really, really depends where you live. I live in Southern California, my home town here had delicious tap water (it was a small town that had its own reservoir.) Now I've moved about five miles away and drinking unfiltered tap water here can make your throat burn. Even if it's harmless, it's still extremely unpleasant.

Also, what the fuck do airbourne carcinogens have to do with tap water?

Isn't this thread about the price of bottled water in a Japanese game, though? Not sure why /vp/'s location is relevant.

America, actually.

There was this huge documentary on fracking and how it made the tap water of people who lived around the operation flammable.

Due to lobbyists, it's an uphill battle to make it stop.
