Sounds pretty crazy doesn't it? But it's true. Pharmaceuticals are now found in 24 major metropolitan cities. I mean the water supplying those cities is contaminated with pharmaceuticals. Not just one or two either, but six different pharmaceuticals so far – that's what has been found – including anti-depressant medications, anti-seizure medications, anti-inflammatory medications, painkillers, even caffeine. Yes, there is caffeine in the water. You don't even need to drink coffee in the morning anymore!
Get up; slam some tap water, and you have your chemicals for the day! Well, that's just an exaggeration of course. They're not found in large amounts in the water, and we're going to talk about that over the next few minutes – talk to you about the dangers of these chemicals found in the public water supply and reveal what you can do to protect yourself from these chemicals. All that's coming right up.
All right, let's start with what has been found in the water and how it got there. That's a big question, and when I have been talking with people about this, they've asked me, "Hey Mike, how do these drugs get in the water supply?" Well, to understand that you have to understand where your water comes from.
Hardness salts are the cause of scale inside a boiler; if they are not prevented or removed regularly they will cause localised overheating. This can lead to tube failure (explosion risk) and/or a reduction in the heat transfer properties
Now this might be kind of a scary talk, actually. If you know where your water comes from you may not want to drink it anymore. In fact, I think anyone drinking out of the tap is probably not well informed yet.
This best practice guide focuses specifically on industrial-scale membrane separation technology. These technologies are particularly effective for the recovery and re-use of both water
so we have to provide water treatment to purify our drinking water.
