Abstract Water treatment methods were recorded as early as 4000 B.C. It was not till the early 20th century that chlorination was implemented to distributing water systems in the U.S. Today, chlorination remains the most widespread method of purifying drinking water. Chlorine has eliminated waterborne diseases like cholera, typhoid and dysentery. It also eliminates slime bacteria, molds and algae that grows in water supply reservoirs. Although, high concentrations of chlorine are toxic and…

affect how much water contamination was disinfected?” The hypothesis was, “If the type of method or product affects how much water contamination is disinfected, then the purification tablets will disinfect the water better.” The method or product was the independent variable while how well the contamination was disinfected was the dependant variable. The control variables were the amount of water (0.24 liters), amount of lemon juice (¼ teaspoon), and the original ph level of the water, which was…

Silver ions in water purification systems carry oxygen that oxidizes and kills microbes. Silver-copper ions can even replace corrosive chlorine to sanitize pools and tanks. The antimicrobial properties of silver that make it useful to medicine and water purification are also applied in food and hygiene, meaning that silver coatings are applied to food packages and refrigerators. Many new…

In 1902 the first chlorine disinfection system was installed in Belgium. By the 1920’s nearly the whole world started using the process. Due to this disinfection process many disease-causing microorganisms were abolished. According to Life Magazine (1997) “The filtration of drinking water plus the use of chlorine is probably the most significant public health…

A study shows that the human body is composed of 60% of water, in which it helps in digesting,absorbing, or preserving normal body temperature.Other benefits that are…

methods of heavy metals from a contaminated water source is crucial for achieving clean drinking water. Heavy metals tend to accumulate in living organisms and cause health disorders and diseases3, 7, 11. Unlike organic contaminates, heavy metals do not degrade and therefore are not easily removed from the water system. For this reason, most large-scale water treatment facilities rely on coagulation to chemically precipitate metals from the source water and by sieve filtration to mechanically…

“Unmasking “fresh water” Until recently I hadn’t given much attention to the type of water consumed both by myself and by my family. During a recent geology lecture I was shocked, appalled and amazed to discover how little treatment is actually conducted on water before it is released back into the original source. In an effort to better understand the subject, I have reviewed many materials both online and in print. I have contacted my city and spoken to several experts on the topic. I…
