A recent report in Finland highlighted some of the concerns associated with the tap water in Finland. Specifically, the report stated that more than two million people in the Scandinavian country have high levels of lead in their drinking water. The level found was five hundred times the normal level. Lead is known to cause a variety of serious health issues including weak bones, brain damage, brittle nails and poor teeth. It can even contribute to increased blood pressure.

Fortunately, the alarming report provided a solution. That is, several government agencies have begun work to test the quality of local tap water. They are currently examining how best to protect the general public from the threat of harmful bacteria and other contaminants. If the results are good, officials will soon begin releasing tap water to the general public. In the mean time, here are some steps that you can take to ensure better tap water safety.
