Sanitary doctors know for sure that everything that flows in our rivers in winter, will - of course, in a different concentration - our faucets this spring. How to determine the quality of the water from the tap? And what if it is very low?
Criteria Water Quality dozens: bacteriological purity, chemical, mechanical. Typically, filters water treatment plants, which begins with the way the water in the water system of the city, starting with filtration, which in the first stage filters the water from the solids, then it passes the cycles of disinfection and detoxification, and only when the content of impurities is reduced to acceptable health standards, water enters the municipal water system.
This is the ideal. Because in life water quality It affects many factors: the state of the water pipes, the sources from which water is taken (where there is the possibility to use underground sources, water quality is immeasurably higher than in the cities, using open water), the state of the region's ecology. However, the methods of bringing water back to normal almost everywhere the same: a given percentage of chlorine - a water-soluble gas antiseptic.
Safe to chlorinated water? Looking for something: for industrial purposes - yes, cleaning the house, washing dishes - absolutely. But for drinking and washing - virtually none. Chlorine is able to slowly but surely undermine the health of our mucous membranes, accumulate in the bone, hair. Therefore, to improve the quality of the water we are going to drink, use for cooking or washing, it is necessary to improve his own.
The easiest way - defending water in an open vessel for 2 - 4 hours. In this case, most of the chlorine evaporates and the water will be much safer.
The second option - The use of any household filter - Pitchers, flow, main - what you prefer. Cartridges almost all well-known brands of filters remove chlorine, and at the same time produce the final water purification after completion of the water supply: it is known that 75% of water supply systems of Russia are worn and operated for over 30 years ...
The third option - bring water to a boil . This makes sense if excessive chlorination, but we can not allow a long boiling: a recent study of Prague Biochemists have shown that at the boil tap water for 5-7 minutes longer in it begin to form dioxins, highly toxic and carcinogenic compounds formed from chemicals that are in the water.
If you want to swim, and tap water smells strongly of chlorine, cook about 12 liters (one large bucket) or boiled settled water to rinse thoroughly after washing her hair and body. Objective - water must not remain on the skin and hair. By the way, do not neglect the milk or cream to the body after each taking a shower: as a rule, high-quality tools include in its composition components neutralizes the effect of chlorinated water.
With hair even easier. If you are then going to dry their hair dryer, after washing the treated hair spray thermal protector: after over-drying hair is not terrible. And if you do without a hair dryer, just rinse your hair last liter of water with a teaspoon of lemon juice.
