Side Effect of Water Treatment

Side Effects of Water Treatment

Unfortunately water treatment has its side effects due to chlorine application. Chlorine itself has been generally known to harm people and nobody sure how bad chlorine can act.

This page, http://www.gas detection.com/TECH/cl2.html explains effects of chlorine to health. Someone may say boiling is the best way to vanish the chlorine, but actually boiling will produce Trihalomethanes (TTHM) that has horrify effects to our body. (refer http://www.trihalomethane.com)

Besides, water that goes trough water treatment still contains heavy metals which can cause:

Physical effects (blood pressure, gastrointestinal nerves, breath, eye, and heart.)

Sub clinical (immunity, chromosome, nerve’s impulse.)

Biochemistry (enzyme function, cell membrane, metabolism, lipid, carbohydrate, hormone, DNA.)

Tetra genesis ( malformation in infant)

Mutagenesis (abnormalities in gene)

Carsinogenesis ( cancer)
