We have a well that is contaminated with:

9.30 ug/L Fluorobenzene
9.20 ug/L 2-Bromo-1-Chloropropane
3.90 ug/L p-Isopropyltoluene
0.19 mg/L Iron, Total
0.04 mg/L Manganese, Total


If I had all that crap in my well, I'd drill a new well or find
another water source.


You'd go to that trouble and expense before finding out if the levels are
harmful?


If they're present in quantities large enough to affect the
smell and taste, then whether those levels are medically dangerous
wouldn't matter to me.


Smell and taste problems can often be solved with filters.
