How does selenium get into my drinking water? There is a very small amount of selenium in water from natural rock weathering and soil erosion. Mining operations often contaminate surface and groundwater with selenium. How does selenium affect my health? Selenium is a nutrient that people need at low levels. But being exposed to high levels can cause health problems. Eating food with high levels of selenium (like grains or vegetables grown in soil with high levels of selenium) for a short time can cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Being exposed to high levels of selenium for a long time can cause hair loss, brittle nails, and problems with your brain and nerves. ​
