Water consumable by people and animals is referred to as
drinking or potable water. Water might be naturally consumable in nature, like
pure natural springs, or might be processed to make the end use consumable. In
either way, water security is evaluated with tests which search for possibly
unsafe contaminants. Contaminants of drinking water increase day by day and it
is necessary to put a check on the same, due to the buildup of toxic chemicals,
infectious agents, even trace radioactive hazards. Drinking water quality is a
strong determinant of general health. And, to ensure safe drinking water helps
in laying the foundation for prevention and control of water-borne diseases.
Common drinking water contaminants include the following:
· - Chlorine, causing bladder and rectal cancer,
even asthma
· - Lead enters tap water through eroded pipelines.
Lead poisoning brings about learning and developmental disorders
· - Giardia, Cryptosporidium sorts of protozoa
account for serious flare-ups of GI tract illnesses
Drinking Water Chemicals generally account for the safety
and purification of drinking/ potable water. It ranges from potable water
disinfection to mineral additives, anything holding the water quality at the
maximum.
Reverse Osmosis is one of the finest methods for pure
Drinking Water. It is one of the processes where water is forced into a set of
semi-permeable membranes under pressure and working against the concentration
gradient, water is highly purified, ensuring the removal of most toxins and
contaminants which otherwise pollute and hamper the wellbeing of the consumers.
But, reverse osmosis comes with a catch of being developing biofouling or
scaling issues. And it is necessary to clean and disinfect the same that
otherwise hampers the efficiency of the process ergo tampering with the water
quality, making membrane cleaners and disinfectants a subcategory of drinking
water chemicals.
Drinking Water Chemicals also include the addition of food
grade minerals with specific end use, such as sodium bicarbonate for increasing
alkalinity, etc.
Next category falling under the same includes the safe
sanitation of bottled plants, and jars which holds the most load for water
transfer, making it necessary to disinfect the same, otherwise adulterated
vessels contaminate the safe drinking water making it unsafe and
non-consumable.
Contamination/ tainting can be dealt with the
application of Drinking Water Chemicals which are included in the treatment of
consumable water for rendering it safe to drink. |
