Potential Health Effects. The pH of drinking water is not a health concern, however, acidic water (low pH) can leach metals (e.g.; lead, copper, zinc, etc.) from plumbing systems, which can cause health problems.
Key Concepts. 1  Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas dissolved in water can cause water to become acidic. 2  The acidity of water from dissolved CO2 can be reduced by a base such as baking soda (sodium bicarbonate).
