Study shows water purifiers are not totally safe
The study reveals that a regular Indian customer who consumes 'filtered' mineral water and considers it to be safer than unfiltered water is not long away from falling prey to illness.
FOR MANY of those who think that the water purifiers in their homes are satisfying their needs safely, they might just want to think over it again. As more people shift towards the so called water purifiers in the metros due to the scarcity of clean potable drinking water, a latest study by Healthy You Foundation has found that most of water purifier brands in India do not comply with the international safety standards. This also leads to inadequate information to the customer thus depriving him of to make an informed choice.
Unlike India, most western countries like Environment Protection Agency in the United States and European Chemicals Agency in the European countries and Australia have got their own regulatory bodies to ensure safety in all the types of drinking water. S Krishnan, President of Healthy You Foundation agrees by saying, “ There is a great risk of formation of disinfection by-products, even in the most commonly used disinfectant – Chlorine. It can lead to adverse health effects in the long run, ranging from metabolic disorders to renal failure and cancer”.
