Merritt Island is sandwiched between the Indian River Lagoon and the Banana River near Kennedy Space Center. PFAS from nearby aerospace facilities and elevated disinfection byproducts are primary water concerns.
Data from the EWG Tap Water Database, EPA ECHO, and Merritt Island's Consumer Confidence Reports. Levels shown are above EWG health-based guidelines — stricter than federal legal limits.
Merritt Island's proximity to Kennedy Space Center and aerospace facilities creates significant PFAS contamination risk.
Disinfection byproducts above EWG health guidelines.
Carcinogenic haloacetic acids above EWG guidelines.
Hexavalent chromium detected above EWG's health guideline — no federal limit.
⚠️ Legal ≠ safe. Federal limits are set on economic feasibility, not purely health risk. EWG guidelines reflect a 1-in-1-million cancer risk threshold.
