Frequently Asked Questions/Consumption of Water by Pregnant Women/Developed by the West Virginia Bureau for Public Health in conjunction with the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)

Question: Will this chemical harm my fetus (unborn baby)? Answer: There are no known studies showing harm to the fetus as a result of consuming water with MCHM levels below 1 ppm. Although there is no information that suggests harm to the fetus, out of abundance of precaution, pregnant women may wish to consume bottled water until levels of MCHM are undetectable in the water system.

Question: May I go to restaurants or can I cook with the water? Answer: Yes. You may continue to use tap water for cooking. It is also safe to consume food which may have been prepared using tap water, as with food cooked in restaurants.
