Elements in Your Glass
The Plain-English Field Guide to the 39 Elements in Your Tap Water
By Steve — water treatment professional since 1994.
Your tap water has a periodic table in it. This book walks through all 39 elements that show up in drinking water — where each one comes from, what it does, what the limits are, and what actually removes it — in plain English, with no scare tactics and nothing to sell you. It ends with a 39-term glossary and the periodic-table map of your water.
The book is dedicated to my parents, Nino and Rosanna.
