Risk Factor for Water Contiminated

Are you concerned about the purity and safety of your drinking water?

Do you wonder which contaminants are in your tap water - how can you tell?

Are you alarmed about contaminants your children might be drinking?

Are you or a member of your family pregnant?

 Great looking, smelling, and tasting water is no guarantee that you
      have safe water!
        Many contaminants, lead, mercury, E. coli, disinfection byproducts - in
            fact the majority of the harmful contaminants listed below - have
            no taste or smell, nor would they be visible in harmful quantities.  




 Chlorinated Water and the Risk of Disinfection Byproducts:


Is your water Chlorinated?

Most municipal water treatment plants use chlorine to disinfect the water before it leaves the treatment plant and/or keep the water biologically safe during the distribution process.  Many well users also use chlorine to disinfect their water

The quote from the EPA above tells only part of the story.  In addition to laboratory studies showing cancers and reproductive problems in animals, there some evidence based on epidemiological studies that implicates DBPs as contributing to problems during pregnancy.

There is also epidemiological evidence suggesting a weak association between the consumption of chlorinated drinking water and the occurrence of bladder, colon, and rectal cancer (and possibly even some brain cancers).     Risk of Lead Contamination:     Lead is a serious threat to human health and can adversely affect almost every organ in the human body.             The most sensitive is the central nervous system, but immune system, red blood cell,    and kidney damage are also common effects.  Lead exposure during pregnancy can    lead to spontaneous fetal abortion, decreased infant size and irreversible brain damage Water usually picks up lead inside you home from household plumbing that is made with lead     containing materials. Plumbing installed before 1930 is most likely to contain lead. (in US) Have you ever been told that your household water is unsafe and to either boil your water before drinking it or to drink bottled water until the problem has been corrected? Have you or a member of your family ever become ill from your home drinking water?  If you answer "yes" to either question, it would probably be a good idea to invest in a high quality water treatment system Sumber : www.cyber-nook.com
