Skye Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Anything of significance to health. You can get WHO guidelines on drinking water from here: http://www.who.int/water_sanitation_health/dwq/guidelines/en/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilded Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Radioactive stuff in water isn't nice either. Even though it's mostly cesium and such that goes quickly through the body here, having a homemade well in Finland isn't generally a good idea. :< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
