Just like U.S EPA´s document ...

Just like U.S EPA´s document says, there are a large number of contaminants, wich are well knowed, and have a lot of study of its effects on human health. My top ten's are (on a regional bassis):
- nitrite
- nitrate
- enteric viruses
- arsenic
- copper
- chromium
- aromathic compunds (in general)
- herbicides run off (in general)
- mercury
- fluoride
But the next stage of the discussion need to be focused on the unregulated contaminants. There are many antibiotics and other compounds that eventually generate serious problems if they are not strictly regulated.
