Drinking Water Quality and Health

Three doctors wrote a book, "Water we drink: the influence on water quality and health". Their name is Joshua I. Barzilay, M. D. Winkler G. Weinberg, M .; And J. William Eley, MD. In order to take into account the quality of drinking water and its health effects, the book is divided into three parts. It first reviewed the history of water, disease and health. The next section discusses health issues. At the end of the book there is a chapter on bottled drinking water and purification methods.

In one of the working sessions on the formulation of drinking water quality guidelines, the World Health Organization (WHO) focused on the possibility of adverse health effects by removing certain substances, and required or optimal mineral of drinking water We studied the problem of desalination of composition. Naturally it is contained in drinking water (2). In the late 1970s, the World Health Organization asked for research to provide background information on the announcement of demineralisation guidelines. This research was conducted by the research team of A.N. The Sysin General Public Health Institute and the Academy of Medical Science in the Soviet Union were under the guidance of Professor Sidorenko and Dr. Rakhmanin. The final report (3) published as an internal working paper in 1980 states that "completely demineralized water (distilled water) not only has insufficient organoleptic properties but also has serious adverse effects on animals and humans "I concluded.

Drinking water is an important source of trace elements in the body. Therefore, the quality of drinking water has a great influence on people's health and lifespan. This study aimed to study the relationship between water quality of drinking water and human health and lifespan. Mayan City, Hunan Province, China, was selected as the study area. Collect drinking water and hair from local people over a hundred years old and analyze the chemical composition. Drinking water is weakly alkaline and rich in essential trace elements. The daily intake of Ca, Cu, Fe, Se, and Sr in Mayan resident drinking water is far greater than the average daily intake of domestic drinking water and water. Nickel and lead in drinking water have a positive correlation with nickel and lead of hair. There is a significant correlation of 0.01 level between Cu, K and Ba, Ca, Mg, Sr in drinking water.
