I was just reading in the Times about the proliferation of cancerous chemicals that are not even tested by the clean drinking water law because they were developed after that law was passed.
Short of running it through a reverse osmosis system, is there any way one can be sure his water -- tap or bottled -- is clean?

I answered this on the air, but I'd like to expand a bit. Basically, I said that the reverse osmosis systems are one of the best ways to insure pretty damn pure water, but that the Britta and other carbon filter systems do a good job of getting rid of most of the organics, lead, and common pollutants. But what they can't get rid of is trace amounts of all of the pesticides, drugs and other substances that can go right though filter or waste treatment systems. Nothing is 100% pure.
I am reminded that many people who will post online as to their fear of inorganic chemsitry probably could not do so if not for those very chemicals.
