VULNERABILITY

 


       Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as people with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These individuals should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers.  EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate methods to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium are available from the EPA Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).
