Chlorine
Effect: Can cause irritation to the skin and eyes and may contribute to digestive issues if consumed in large quantities. Chlorine is added to water for disinfection but has a relatively low evaporation point, which means it can dissipate quickly. To ensure that chlorine remains effective during transportation and storage, ammonia is often added to form chloramine. Chloramine has a higher stability, allowing it to stay in the water longer, both during transport and in water reservoirs. This is why shower steam is worse than drinking water directly.
Chlorine By-products
Chloramine
Effect: While chloramine is more stable and effective at remaining in water for longer periods, it can lead to respiratory problems, skin irritation, and affect the taste and odor of the water.
Trihalomethanes (THM)
Effect: Long-term exposure is linked to an increased risk of cancer and liver damage.
Heavy Metals
Lead
Effect: Can cause developmental issues in children and neurological problems in adults.
Copper
Effect: High levels can lead to gastrointestinal issues and liver damage.
Cadmium
Effect: Associated with kidney damage and bone weakening.
Uranium
Effect: Can cause kidney damage and increase cancer risk.
Hardness
Calcium
Effect: Essential for bone health, but excessive hardness can lead to scaling in plumbing.
Magnesium
Effect: Important for heart and muscle function; excessive hardness can cause scaling and reduce appliance efficiency.
PFAS (Forever Chemicals)
Effect: Linked to various health issues including cancer, liver damage, and developmental effects. Removed by RO only.
Organic Compounds
Effect: Can affect the taste and smell of water, and some may pose health risks.
Sediments (Mud, Leaves, etc.)
Effect: May cause gastrointestinal issues and affect water clarity and taste.
Bacteria
Effect: Can cause gastrointestinal infections and other diseases.
Fluoride
Effect: While beneficial in preventing tooth decay, excessive fluoride can lead to dental and skeletal fluorosis; removed by RO only.
Microplastics
Effect: Although long-term health effects are still being studied, potential risks include:
1. Chemical exposure: Plastics may leach harmful additives like BPA, phthalates, or absorb persistent pollutants.
2. Cellular damage: Emerging studies suggest microplastics can cause inflammation, oxidative stress, and cellular damage if absorbed by the body.
