At home, people can use EWG’s updated Tap Water Database to find out what contaminants are in their drinking water. It describes which home water filters are best to use for removing disinfection byproducts, based on the contaminants found in a particular system. Activated carbon and reverse osmosis home water filtration systems are usually the most successful.

Almost like enslaving and exploiting sentient beings is awful for many practical reasons... 🤔 before even needing to think about why it's a morally atrocious thing to do (antibiotic resistance, new zoonotic plagues, climate devastation, cancer, phsychological trauma for the workers forced to do the dirty work, etc.).
