I worked in an envronmental lab as a teenager and am still in awe of what percentage of toilet paper was in treated sewage water.
In 2022, the fine cellulose that could be holding onto finer particles of..... stuff, pale in comparison to microbeads that make it through multiple stages of sewage treatment.

The microbeads breakdown even further, so this only means that the treated sewage may contain more contaminates (not to mention PFAS) than anyone cares to admit.

New construction in the 21st century at least has the knowledge of the additional need for filtering on premises, regardless of source (municipal, desalination, rain water, well water, etc).
Very entusiastic blog as well. Author writes with very bright eyed and bushy-tailed enthusiasm.

- tomcam 4y agoTo me what with things like this and microplastics in the water it’s inevitable that we’ll end up distilling all our water
- lob_it 4y agoNo chicken little on this.. Its just an FYI If you raised a family on distilled water and filtered out the contaminents, I'm sure other than high insurance rates in healthcare pools, you'll be fine :) Edit: How could someone not like this comment and ruin my perfect karma :0 /s? There has been funk in the water for decades. If it has already caused birth defects, undiagnosed ailments or anything, it was already a known fact.
