http://www.who.int/inf-fs/en/fact210.html
Fact Sheet No 210
Revised May 2001 ARSENIC IN DRINKING WATER A rsenic may be found in water which has flowed through arsenic-rich rocks. Severe health effects have been observed in populations drinking arsenic-rich water over long periods in countries world-wide. SOURCE
  • Arsenic is widely distributed throughout the earth's crust. Arsenic is introduced into water through the dissolution of minerals and ores, and concentrations in groundwater in some areas are elevated as a result of erosion from local rocks. Industrial effluents also contribute arsenic to water in some areas. Arsenic is also used commercially e.g. in alloying agents and wood preservatives. Combustion of fossil fuels is a source of arsenic in the environment through disperse atmospheric deposition. Inorganic arsenic can occur in the environment in several forms but in natural waters, and thus in drinking-water, it is mostly found as trivalent arsenite (As(III)) or pentavalent arsenate (As (V)). Organic arsenic species, abundant in seafood, are very much less harmful to health, and are readily eliminated by the body. Drinking-water poses the greatest threat to public health from arsenic. Exposure at work and mining and industrial emissions may also be significant locally.

What do you, the trees, and a hamster have in common? Give up? You all need water . All living things must have water to survive, whether they get it from a water fountain, a rain cloud, or a little bottle attached to the side of a hamster cage! It might not seem like it, but water is the most necessary nutrient of them all - so necessary that people can't survive for more than a few days without it. More than half the weight of your body is water - if you weigh 60 pounds, fewer than 25 of those pounds are bones and squishy insides, and the remaining pounds are made up of water. So let's see what water does for our bodies . . . jump in and get wet!

Can you imagine trying to live without running water?
Of all rural and municipal services, a potable water supply is perhaps the most vital. All people depend on water for drinking, cooking, washing, carrying away wastes, and other domestic needs. For the most part, people don't give a second thought to how drinking water gets to their homes or where that water comes from. They just want to know that water will keep streaming from their taps. Our job here at the National Drinking Water Clearinghouse is to help small community and rural drinking water systems and individuals with private wells find the information they need to continue producing clean, safe drinking water.

Information about a September 2000 letter sent to the U.S. House Committee on Science by the Environmental Protection Agency that stated that tens of millions of Americans may be at risk from drinking fluoridated drinking water.
http://home.att.net/~gtigerclaw/EPAresponse.html
US Environmental Protection Agency reveals that tens of millions of Americans may be at risk from fluoridated drinking water. George Glasser September 5, 2000: In a twenty-two page, response to the United States House Subcommittee on Energy and the Environment, Chairman, Charles Fox, Assistant Administrator USEPA, admitted that after more than five decades of fluoridation at least tens of millions of Americans could could be adversely affected by fluoridated drinking water. Fox wrote:
  • "EPA is in the process of developing medical fact sheets to provide medical practitioners (doctors, nurses, dieticians, etc.) with health data relative to drinking water contaminants that can be then used in counseling patients. This work has just begun, and will initially focus on the elderly, children and pregnant women. It will later be expanded to cover other at-risk populations. In addition, EPA has made it a requirement for public water systems to provide their clients with health effects information on contaminants in their water supply, including fluoride [Consumer Confidence Rule FR 63(160): 44512-44536]."*

Charles Fox acknowledges the Toxicological Profile for Fluorides (US Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, 1993) page 112 statement:

A major WHO function to achieve such goals is the responsibility "to propose... regulations, and to make recommendations with respect to international health matters ..." . In 1958 WHO codified its guidance on drinking water quality with the first of several documents intended to provide countries with the basic information necessary to establish national drinking water quality standards.
