  • Are you Sure your Drinking Water is Clean and Pure?
    By: ELIA LEVI

    How is your drinking water? Is it clean? Is it pure? Is it safe?

    If you are not sure you should better check: it is a matter of Health. The type and quantity of dangerous contaminants finding their way into distributed tap water is alarming in certain unsuspected locations.

    It would be wise to look periodically into the published reports on the quality of water reaching the tap and to take provisions accordingly if necessary.

    While drinking water (clean or otherwise) is a rare and precious commodity in many of the poorest countries around the globe, it should not be a big worry in the selected part of the world that enjoys plenty of technology and health caring means for all citizens.

    It is therefore quite unexpected to find a statement by the National Resources Defense Council affirming that "each year up to 7 million Americans become sick from contaminated tap water, which can also be lethal".

    You may have thought that, since you decided that you and your family will drink only bottled water, you are safe and free from any worry. If you only care to search the truth however, you will find in articles linked from the NRDC home page mentioned above, that such a conclusion is far from granted.

    Not to mention the non negligible cumulative expense, acceptable only if it were proven that the cost is essential to maintain a healthy well being. Unfortunately this is not the case.

    It appears that, while there are long term plans to get tap water treated to make it safe and pure to drink for everyone, for the time being, in certain areas at least, it would be advisable to have a home filter installed to get rid of the most dangerous contaminants.

    This simple provision should generally be sufficient to remove the most damaging pollutants and the bad smell due to chlorine, the most common disinfectant added on purpose in almost all water treatment systems.

    Why should you? It is a move meant to keep you out of the crowd of those becoming sick because of low quality drinking water (see above, seven millions each year in the US alone...). It is a health preserving move you owe to yourself, to your children and to your elderly people.

    You do not want that your carelessness be called in cause for the endangered Health of anyone around you. You will feel happier once you have decided, and it is not unduly hard: just do it!
