Something else to be scared about (airplane drinking water)
But it’s still good information to know. The Environmental Protection Agency studied the drinking water in airplanes and this is what they found:
Dangerous levels of bacteria have been found in drinking water aboard 15% of planes at US airports
However,
Twenty-four US airlines have now agreed to routinely disinfect their water supplies and monitor water quality in response to the EPA study. “Passengers must feel confident of the water safety on an airplane,” says Grant Nakayama of the EPA. “These new protocols will provide protection.”
All is good in the world again. Phew.
