Journalist Charles Duhigg reports on the many pollutants infecting drinking water and our bodies in the NY Times special series Toxic Waters.

It seems that we cannot rely on Washington to enforce laws that will protect water and health, so what are our other sources of accountability and protection? Alternet released this piece in response to the NY Times articles.
