Filtered Water Is Good for You

Posted by Rolf Joho on February 22nd, 2010 filed in What Causes Global Warming

You arrive home after a hard day at work tired, hot and thirsty. The first thing you do is get a glass from the cupboard, turn on the tap and fill it up. Seemingly clean water fills your glass and you put it to your lips and gulp the thirst-quenching poison. That’s right, poison. Of course it won’t kill you in a day or a week or even a year, but water that is contaminated and not treated through a filtered water system becomes increasingly toxic to our bodies.

The use of water filtration systems prevents toxic substances such as cysts, bacteria and chlorine from entering the body or reproducing inside the body; thus reducing the risk of becoming ill from contaminants. The microorganisms and other pathogens that cause waterborne infections are kept to a minimum.

Some home filters have solid yet permeable blocks that are made from carbon. The carbon element selectively clears some of the toxic substances like bacteria that are found in drinking water. The carbon block keeps the natural pH of water and does not filter useful minerals that are required in healthy water. Water filters have even been medically certified in reducing the chances of cancers of the colon, bladder and rectum. This is because the byproduct of chlorine that is commonly used to treat water is a known carcinogen.

A popular home style of filter is the model that attaches to the faucet. It is affixed to the faucets of the home and filters all water as it is dispensed. This is an extremely handy model and helps ensure that the water you drink and cook with is filtered. However, the kitchen isn’t the only place where you will want pure water in your home. Filtered water systems are available for the bathroom, and anywhere brushing your teeth or using the shower could expose you to unfiltered and contaminated water.

Filtering water will typically get rid of most of its impurities, and tap water is especially susceptible to impurities. The organisms, minerals and chemicals found in water can be toxic to humans over time and should be removed. So too should the water that is used in irrigation, swimming pools and aquariums be filtered for safety. Of course it should be noted that not all impurities can be completely removed from filtered water. It is important to have a multi-stage filter with a wide surface area that catches as much sediment as possible while allowing the water to pass through.

Climate Change: Causes, Effects, and SolutionsHuman-induced climate change is a serious concern, drawing increasing attention from the media, policy makers and citizens around the world. This comprehensive and thought-provoking volume explains in easily understandable language the potential effects of climate change on our planet and our lives.

Climate Change: Causes, Effects and Solutions examines the latest scientific findings without any advanced technical knowledge. It goes beyond a description of changes in the physical environment to consider the broader issues of ecological, economic and human effects of climate change.

The book explains:

• the causes and effects of climate change from a natural and human environment perspective.
• mitigation options and policies that could reduce the impacts of climate change.
• global impacts -  with case studies are taken from North America, Europe, Australasia and elsewhere.

Essential reading for undergraduates and general readers who want to heighten their knowledge and understanding of this important problem.

What Causes Global Warming (Opposing Viewpoints)

Time: Global Warming: The Causes, the Perils, the Politics - and What It Means for YouPlanet Earth is heating up, and so is the debate over why our climate is changing and what it means for the future of our energy sources, of our cities, of our children. Now "Time" explores the science of global warming in an illuminating, beautifully illustrated book that ranges from polar ice caps to equatorial rainforests. Here are the scientists who are working to measure and counter the warming trend; here are the world's most endangered habitats and creatures; here are various scenarios for the future. Separating truth from fantasy, "Time" brings a cool eye to today's hottest issue.

Global Warming: Causes, Effects, and the Future

Planet Earth is warming faster now than at any other time in the past 1,000 years, and global warming may be the greatest threat to ever face humanity. Counteracting it is our greatest challenge.

 

Mark Maslin explains what global warming is and presents incontrovertible evidence that it is really happening. He examines the impact that climate change will have on health, agriculture, water resources, coastal regions, forests, and wildlife. He also looks at the efforts being made to counteract the effects of global warming and the ways in which we can adapt.
