ALL WATER CONTAINS CONTAMINANTS, many of natural sources not just man-made, including inorganic and organic molecules; these aqueous solutions of numerous soluble molecules are very varied. There are numerous chemical reactions that can occur between these contaminants, some of which are very problematic. http://lnkd.in/dpF-MGq View in LinkedIn

CHORINE KILLS MICROORGANISMS. "Washing whole and cut produce by dipping or submerging in chlorinated water has a sanitizing effect, although reduction in microbial populations is minimal and is usually less than 100-fold. Chlorine was generally more effective at 2,000 ppm than at 200 ppm. Inactivation of microorganisms occurred essentially within 1 min." http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/iafp/jfp/1998/00000061/00000010/art00008 View in LinkedIn

POLYDADMAC AND EIPDMA are used in water pre-treatment as coagulants, and they "have been associated with the formation of nitrosamines. There are about 9 compounds in this general group that can be produced as DBP from chlorination. These compounds are toxic and may be carcinogenic." http://lnkd.in/dxmqCmv View in LinkedIn
