Drinking Tap Water May Cause Cancer

British scientists have reported on how tap water can become a cause of cancer. According to researchers, the transportation of water through pipes and the direct consumption of tap water lead to the emergence of several carcinogenic diseases. The research was published on the Phys.org website.

The study indicates that carcinogenic chemicals found in flowing water through pipes adversely affect human health. The scientists explained that the greatest danger associated with drinking tap water is the potential infiltration of arsenic, uranium, and radium into the human body, which increases the number of oncological diseases.
