Top 5 water contaminants

Every day, millions of tons of waste must be treated to prevent them from contaminating the environment, especially water. As much as we try to ensure the purity of the water we drink every day, unfortunately, many of the main elements that damage this valuable resource are not subjected to the proper processes and they reach our homes already contaminated.

Although there are many causes of water pollution, human activity is one of the main ones. That is why it is increasingly vital to have alkaline water purification systems in Miami homes to protect us from the effects of contaminants.

From Property Care, we list and explain the main elements that contaminate water and force the consumption of alkaline water.

Main water pollutants

Some of the debris mentioned below are relatively easy to separate from water. However, many are often very soluble, which prevents humans from degrading them naturally and quickly. Because they persist for longer periods of time in the water, the impact of these wastes on water pollution is much more severe.

Insecticides, pesticides and fertilizers These elements are particularly polluting and prolific, as they are widely used in agriculture, livestock, and households. Pesticides or fertilizers used in agriculture prevent insects or fungi from damaging crops and are dangerous to humans. Through the soil, these residues contaminate groundwater and end up in aquatic ecosystems such as freshwater ecosystems, altering the natural balance of nutrients necessary for the vegetation that inhabits them.

Antibiotics and pharmaceutical products

Secondly, drugs are considered emerging pollutants, whose excessive and growing consumption by humans has led to their appearance in water in natural environments.

It is very difficult to remove these substances from water, so they remain in it for a long time. However, with the Property Care alkaline water kit, you will not have to worry about these contaminants since your home will have the most efficient technology to ensure that the water you consume is 100% apt.

Pathogenic microorganisms

These elements come from fecal wastes which, for the most part, can be removed from the water using chlorine or ultraviolet light. However, the presence of antibiotics in the water complicates this process since these compounds promote the permanence of these microorganisms in water.

Organic compounds

This category includes substances such as oil, gasoline, plastics, solvents, and detergents, among others. These compounds were created by humans and have complex molecular structures, so they cannot be degraded by microorganisms.

In fact, the case of plastics is especially alarming since their high production and daily consumption have caused their increased presence in the water of seas and oceans. To avoid this type of contaminant, from Property Care, we suggest alkaline water as a great alternative.

Radioactive substances

This is one of the worst types of contaminants. The sources of radiation can be diverse, such as accidents or leaks in nuclear plants, illegal dumping of radioactive waste, or natural contamination.

A solution to water contamination

The solution to water contamination, of course, begins with preventing the presence of contaminants. By consuming alkaline water, you will protect your health and that of your family members.
