Water Purification.
This is one process by which all chemicals, contaminants, and other undesirable substances are removed from water, most commonly drinking water. Chlorine has been used as an effective disinfectant in drinking water supplies for nearly 100 years. This gives a chance for people to have improved drinking water, yes, but how many of us know the other side of it?
Today, almost every home in cities have water purifiers of various brands. Chlorination again, is done to water to make it fit enough to be drinkable. There are a zillion ways to purify water like boiling, solar distillation etc.. and make it fit for drinkable uses, among which chlorination can be one dangerous method that can harm our health to a vast extent.
Some of the most common effects of chlorine are on the skin like getting it dry, flaky and also premature aging!!!
In fact I also read in an article that nearly 28% of all cancer of the intestines and 18% of all cancer of the bladder were caused by the drinking of chlorinated water. Such can be its effects. It is a highly corrosive, poisonous and also a suffocating gas. This Halogen is compressed to a great extent to produce its liquid form and thus is added to drinking water and other water-forms to destroy bacteria. Sadly, it also destroys our health in the long-run.
Some of the facts about chlorine that I'd like to discuss are here..
*Chlorine drinking water smells and tastes awful
*Chlorine, when added to water, releases a number of byproducts which are very harmful to your health.
*Some of these by-products could even cause cancer in the long term. In short, chlorine drinking water is not safe for consumption at all.
* chlorine vaporizes at a much faster rate than water, chlorinated water presents a significant threat to the respiratory system when used for showering.
*Last but not the least, chlorine has even been listed as poison by scientists!!
There are a lot of ways to purify water among which boiling could be one of the best options ever.This is because boiling water kills all the bacteria, germs and other infectants in a very safe manner avoiding usage of chemicals
and keeping our health very safe. It is a method that can be relied upon, unlike the other methods. Bring the water to its boiling point for a few minutes is worth an effort to be taken for a healthy lifestyle.. as it's rightly said that more than 70% of the health issues that we get are due to the water that we consume, especially when the chlorine content is high. Boiling kills all bacteria and disease causing germs in a much simpler and healthier way. his is a recommended method to be followed by all civilians.
Alternatively, to avoid chlorine's harmful effects, you can use a chlorine filter on your shower, bathtub or tap.
And if you can't resist a dip in the pool, using a pre-swimming lotion that's specially formulated to block chlorine and protect your skin can also be followed. On the other hand, you can also treat dry skin caused by chlorine by applying a moisturizer or taking an oatmeal bath.There are so many methods to avoid and prevent infections caused by chlorine. When it can have so many effects on the outside, imagine what it can do to our internal organ when consumed everyday!
So, how many of us are aware of all these facts? And how many of us actually look into these issues and spread the awareness?
These are simple everyday activities which most of us ignore not being aware of its level of danger on our health. It is a must that at least urbanized people learn about these and also help in spreading the word to the rural people and fight against the evil of chlorine in water, especially when it is WIDELY used by all of us everyday in our our home-water-purifiers. Passing of words can definitely save at least hundreds of lives! So, let's join hands and fight against the deadly usage of chlorine and save as many lives as we can, also promoting a healthy lifestyle!
