Airplanes: In tests reported in January 2005, one in six airliners had drinking water that failed to meet federal safety standards set by the U.S. Environmental Protection agency.

Although the agency’s guidelines suggest that testing be done quarterly, or at least that the water systems be flushed and disinfected quarterly. A published report in 2004 indicated that it wasn’t clear how often either has been happening.

The program conducts unannounced inspection of cruise ships twice a year. The results are available at www.cdc.gov/nceh.vsp offsite link
