President-elect Donald Trump has picked Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as his Health and Human Services secretary and while we don’t know what the policies will be, one thing Kennedy has signaled he would look at is fluoridation of water across the United States.

Scientists have discovered a chemical byproduct in treated drinking water that for years, they couldn’t isolate. More research is now on the horizon because the byproduct shares similarities with other toxic compounds,

After decades of research, scientists have identified an unknown chemical byproduct of a disinfectant used to treat drinking water.

A newly identified chemical byproduct may be present in drinking water in about a third of U.S. homes, a study found. Scientists think it might be toxic but do not yet know.

The effects of a chemical that’s produced when water is treated for viruses and bacteria are unknown, but there's a clear "similarity to other toxic molecules"

Chloramine is used as a disinfectant in drinking water systems from the US to Australia. Research now shows it breaks down into a compound that may have negative health impacts

Despite the identification of a new chemical and the presence of an old chemical, fluoride, in drinking water, experts said most tap water is safe to drink

A chemical byproduct found in some treated drinking water in the U.S. that remained a mystery for more than 40 years may have finally been identified by scientists. The authors of the study, published Thursday in the journal Science,
