Abstract:
Screening of contaminants found in drinking water and those used to render water potable showed none to be extremely toxic. Other contaminants varied in toxicity from practically non-toxic to highly toxic. Sanitizers used in the food industry, sodium hypochlorite and iodophor, while presenting slight to moderate toxicity in undiluted concentrations, showed insignificant toxicity at use levels.
