More than two billion people worldwide have suffered thyroid disorders from either iodine deficiency or excess. By creating the national map of groundwater iodine throughout China, we reveal the spatial responses of diverse health risks to iodine in cont
Side Effects of chlorine dioxide Chlorination of potable water supplies high in organics may yield carcinogenic substances such as trihalomethanes. ClO2 has been proposed as an alternative disinfectant to chlorine. However, it is a strong oxidant that forms considerable amounts of chlorite when mixed...
Well water filters tackle specific issues like sediment, iron, sulfur, and chlorine. A multi-stage system combining sediment filtration with advanced options like carbon filters is often the most effective approach for well water. Testing of your well water can determine the specific contaminants you...
