Researchers studying the New Orleans and Cincinnati water supplies found that chlorine, added to water to kill harmful bacteria, can combine with certain pollutants to form compounds that may cause cancer; cancer rates in the New Orleans area, which draws its water from the lowermost-and thus most polluted-part of the Mississippi, are among the highest in the nation.
