Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immunocompromised persons such as per- sons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with I IIVAIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections.
