In summary, common harmful chemicals found in water include chlorine, lead, arsenic, and fluoride. These chemicals can enter the water supply through industrial waste, agricultural runoff, and inadequate treatment of wastewater. The potential health risks associated with consuming contaminated water vary but may include gastrointestinal issues, neurological disorders, and increased risk of certain types of cancer. Water purification systems can effectively remove these chemicals through methods such as filtration, reverse osmosis, and activated carbon absorption. Additionally, there are environmentally-friendly alternatives to traditional purification methods, such as natural filtration systems and sustainable agriculture practices.

No, not all. The best one can do is to reduce the impurities below some level and stop worrying about them.

depends on what you define as harmful.
apparently the really fine micromembrane filters available today can obtain near absolute pure water... although this is never used for tape water unless people died drinking the water by normal filteration.
