EPA Standards Miss Many Chemicals in Drinking Water, Study SaysMore
Water is getting contaminated all over the world including that of Dover, Delaware. In USA, the EPA mandates water boards to comply with its standards. The water boards do their best to do, but the number of contaminants tested is limited and also infrequently. With increasing viruses, bacteria, PFA’s, micro-plastics, nitrates, pesticides, endocrine disruptors heavy metals like lead, radioactive waste it is very difficult and expensive to test water every day for all the contaminants.
Health studies show that the levels of contaminants should be much lower than in the standards.
We sincerely believe that water should be filtered to get rid of harmful contaminants from drinking water in Dover, Delaware. It is essential for you and your loved ones’ health.
There are many technologies available to choose from. They differ in what each one filters out. There are two kinds of commonly available filters – Activated Carbon and Reverse Osmosis systems. Others include UV, Micro, Ultra, Nano, and Ion Exchange filters. Reverse Osmosis water filter systems are the most widely used cost effective systems to remove these harmful contaminants effectively down to 0.0001 microns.
