💨 Abstract

The article discusses the safety of drinking water for 23 million US households that rely on private wells. Despite public health recommendations to test water yearly, most households do not, and even in states with strong policies, funding for testing is often unspent. A study in rural Iowa found that nitrate, a common contaminant, is a concern, but few households test for it.
