After the news story I recently heard about hog industry farms accidently spilling hundreds of chemicals into local streams, I got to thinking... do any of the standard treatment, i.e. filters, aqua potable, katadyn tablets, bleach, boiling, take care of chemical elements? Is there any kind of test to tell if your just purified water is laced with toxic chemicals?

Thanks,

Yeah, it was one of those questions that I thought I knew the answer too, but my mother always said, "you have strange gaps in your knowledge. I'm surprised by some of the things you know, and also surprised by things you don't know"

Thanks for the link btw.
