What happens when you compare local drinking water standards with WHO recommendations.
mapyourhealth.infoI created a website that tracks legal drinking water standards for contaminants—including PFAS, microplastics, etc.—and compares them with health-based recommendations from the World Health Organization. My goal is to make it easier for people to understand how protective their local regulations are and to explore environmental health information in one place.
Working on this project has made me realize how difficult it can be for the average person to answer simple questions like:
- What contaminants are regulated where I live?
- How do those legal limits compare with health-based recommendations?
- Are there contaminants that aren't regulated at all?
I'm continuing to expand the platform and would really appreciate input from people who know this topic well. I'd love to hear your suggestions, criticism, or ideas for making the information more useful and scientifically accurate. Encouragements are also welcome ;)

Why is European drinking water better than all other brands?
Seriously. No other brand I’ve tried, no matter how expensive, has a different taste than the American ones which taste quite heavy. Evian and other European spring waters taste so smooth and light. Can someone explain? Is it because European waters are better and all other brands are lying to us or is the taste of the other ones normal and not pollutants. Thanks.

Hate the sound of running water.
Like the title says I can't stand the sound of running water, even more the sound of liquid pouring into a container is like nails on a chalkboard.
Anyone else?
