Nearly every; stable chemical found on earth can be found in some body of water.
The effect on the human body depends on the chemical and the concentration. For instance, almost all surface waters contain some salt. Small amounts of salt are essential to human health. Large amounts of salt can kill you.
Water from the average lake has thousands of different organic chemicals and a wide variety of dissolved minerals. Some of these are good for humans at some concentration and most of them are bad for humans at some concentration.
Water fountains from most potable drinking water sources have been filtered and chlorinated to remove particulates and kill germs.

Water is composed of only two: 1 part hydrogen and 2 parts oxygen
H2O
If you're talking about poluted water, then that's a different issue - you'll only know the chemicals on it when tested in a lab.
good luck

aqueous chemicals, like ions (sodium, hydroxide, anything)
H+ and OH- are there very often as they are part of the natural equilibrium in water...these ions are why a body of water is considered "acidic" or "alkaline"
effect on body...not sure =D
