Definition of Contaminant. The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) defines contaminant as any physical, chemical, biological or radiological substance or matter in water. Drinking water may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. Some contaminants may be harmful if consumed at certain levels in drinking water. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. Read more about types of drinking water contaminants.
