Follow on Google News | Chlorine in NYC Tap Water is a Cause for ConcernChlorinated tap water has been linked to increased risk of cancer.
By: gary cucuzza Chlorine is a known posion. It has been used as a weapon of war. Consuming it on a regular basis, be it from drinking it directly or from cooking with it, or absorbing it through your skin can have serious health effects. Chlorine reacts with organic matter in the water and produces byproducts. Here is an excerpt from the www.epa.gov which explains these byproducts: "Disinfection byproducts (DBPs) form when disinfectants used to treat drinking water react with naturally occurring materials in the water. The predominant byproducts that result from use of chlorine as a disinfectant are trihalomethanes (chloroform, bromoform, bromodichloromethane, and dibromochloromethane) PURE WATER NOW: http://www.pureplanetwaters.com Research has linked these byproducts to many health problems including a significant increase in cancer risk (93%). The information the EPA provides regarding DBPs reproductive & developmental health effects basically advises that they are 'not sure' about what health effects these harmful chemicals can have on our reproductive health, or developmental health... the following is also an excerpt from the EPA.gov website: "With respect to reproductive and developmental effects, we do not know for sure. Little is known about reproductive and developmental effects and the role of environmental exposures from these disinfection byproducts. However, the evidence available at this time raises concern about a possible link between chlorinated drinking water and reproductive and developmental effects." PURE WATER: http://www.pureplanetwaters.com One would like to think that the safety of the water supplied to us has been thoroughly tested and researched and confirmed safe. Your health and the health of your family and loved ones should not be left to chance. Having a reliable filtration system installed will ensure that chlorine is eliminated from the tap water. When looking for a filtration system it is very important to identify what type of filtration methods are used and what percentage of chemicals and contaminants are removed. In the case of 'pitcher' filters widely used, the manufactufer states the carbon filter will 'reduce' chlorine - not remove it. The only way to ensure absolutely pure water is to go with a mutli-stage filtration system. Pure Planet Waters offers a 7 stage reverse smosis filtration system, with UV technlogy.
