Every day Americans drink more than one billion glasses of water. Public drinking water in the United States is generally safe; however, it is wise to be aware that water can be- come contaminated. Contaminants often have no odor or color and are hard to detect. Some of them arel: bacteria and viruses may cause upset stomachs, diarrhea or more serious illnesses; 2: lead can get into water from corroded plumbing and can cause children to have learning and behavioral problems as well as other illnesses; 3: chemicals such as pesticides can wash offlawns and fields or leak from storage containers, or gas and oil can aeep into the ground water and theninto where evenasmallamount ', damage to kidneys, drink-ingwat- er ins,orpresenthealth risks to pregnant women; 4: radon, a naturally occurring radioactive gas i found in some well water escapes into the air in the home from showers and washing machines and has been linked to lung cancer " most ofthe risk cornea from radon that seeps into homes from the ground soil; 5: ni-- i trste gets into water from animal and human waste and from fertiliser. Some expertsbelieve nitrate can cause miscarriages in pregnant women, birth defects and illness to some infants under six months old. Though contaminants can be hard to detect, there are things you can do to prevent them from harming your water. Consider these suggestions. Ifyou think you havea water problem, have your water tested. Call the Department ofHealth for assistance in obtaining a water sample. If you find your watersrsdon level is 10,000 pico curies per literor higher, con tact the State Department of Health or the Department of Environmental Quality for methods of aerating the water before it enters your house.If you have pipes soldered with lead, do not use hot water from the tap for coolringordrinkingbecause heat can dissolve the metal. If you must use the water and havent used your tap for several hours, dear out tiie pipes by letting cold water run until you feel the temperature change. Very than hard water, is especially likely to leach lead from soldered pipes or brass fixtures.

And that means a risk to companies bottom lines. Survey after survey, as well as research by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety; indicate that everyday, common fectors are topping the list of distractions for today's driven: looking at things outside the vehicle, adjusting the radio or CD player, other occupants and objects moving inside the vehicle. While cell phones have received a mqjor con- lot ofattention, multiple surveys have indicated they fell only in the middle of the pack in terms of potential distractions. Even more distractions an on the way navigation systems, palm pilota integrated with car radio systems, Internet stereo access, and complex, systems, to name a few.
