   Extractions: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Tap water Drinking water or potable water is water of sufficiently high quality that can be consumed or used without risk of immediate or long term harm. In most developed countries , the water supplied to households, commerce and industry is all of drinking water standard, even though only a very small proportion is actually consumed or used in food preparation. Over large parts of the world, humans have inadequate access to potable water and use sources contaminated with disease vectors pathogens or unacceptable levels of dissolved chemicals or suspended solids. Such water is not potable and drinking or using such water in food preparation leads to widespread acute and chronic illnesses and is a major cause of death in many countries. Reduction of waterborne diseases is a major public health goal in developing countries. Typically, water supply networks deliver potable water, whether it is to be used for drinking, washing or landscape irrigation . One counterexample is urban China , where drinking water can optionally be delivered by a separate tap.

   Extractions: Unfortunately, efforts to treat water can also result in new health threats. Chlorination of drinking water supplies virtually eliminates most disease or bacterial contamination, but creates traces of several toxic by-products in drinking water - such as chloroform, chloramines, trihalomethanes and other chlorinated organic compounds. Fluorination of drinking water is used to prevent tooth decay, but may also have unintended and unhealthy side effects. Government agencies have decided the benefits are worth the risks, but alternatives are available in many instances.These are serious problems, but most can be addressed.

   Extractions: Related drinking water and health materials The United States has one of the safest water supplies in the world. However, national statistics don't tell you specifically about the quality and safety of the water coming out of your tap. That's because drinking water quality varies from place to place, depending on the condition of the source water from which it is drawn and the treatment it receives.

Bradley Mason zSB(3,3) When you were a kid in school, you learned that each molecule of water is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. You may also have learned that it was great fun to fill up your squirt guns with water, at least until the principal caught you. What you may not have learned, however, was that you need water to be a healthy human being. Your body is estimated to be about 60 to 70 percent water. Blood is mostly water, and your muscles, lungs, and brain all contain a lot of water. Your body needs water to regulate body temperature and to provide the means for nutrients to travel to all your organs. Water also transports oxygen to your cells, removes waste, and protects your joints and organs. You lose water through urination, respiration, and by sweating. If you are very active, you lose more water than if you are sedentary. Diuretics such as caffeine pills and alcohol result in the need to drink more water because they trick your body into thinking you have more water than we need.

    Extractions: var isReferenceAnswers = true; BodyLoad('s'); On this page Library Encyclopedia of Public Health: Home Library Health Public Health Encyclopedia In the United States, the rate of consumption of drinking water is almost 100 gallons per person per day. Only a small portion of the "drinking water" supplied by public water systems is actually used for drinking; other uses include toilet flushing, bathing, cooking, cleaning, and lawn watering. Drinking-water supplies in large cities come from surface-water sources such as lakes, rivers, and reservoirs. In rural areas, groundwater is more likely to be the source of drinking water. In this case, groundwater is pumped from a well that taps into aquifers. Rain and snow precipitation are also collected and used for this purpose. Groundwater, which is the main source of drinking water for almost half of the population of the United States, is normally free of suspended solids, bacteria, and other disease-causing organisms. Due to agricultural runoff or disposal of liquid waste, however, groundwater is being contaminated. Groundwater is relatively inexpensive and easy to access, but it is limited in volume and thus irreplaceable if depleted. To avoid such an occurrence, many states are creating ways for rainfall to move into holding ponds so that water can recharge aquifers by entering the ground again. Another potential source of drinking water is runoff from rainfall, which can be used to supply large municipalities. This water is collected and treated before being distributed for human consumption.

    Extractions: Water has been called the universal solvent because so many substances will dissolve in it. Water also can carry many materials in suspension. Unfortunately, water is not particularly selective in which compounds become dissolved or suspended. The water that dissolves your coffee or tea and sugar in the morning or that you use to reconstitute your orange juice or infant's formula might also have dissolved some atoms of lead from the pipes in your home or picked up a microgram of 2,4 D from the farm upstream from the filtration plant. If your water is chlorinated it almost certainly contains a few micrograms of chloroform (a byproduct of the disinfection process). The question you need to ask is not, "

Start Here What is a Fuel Cell or Hydrogen Generator? This website is for informational purposes only! WARNING! Hydrogen is very flammable and very light. Do not make Hydrogen indoors or where it can get trapped under a ceiling or roof. Hydrogen when sparked or lit can cause injury or death. Do not experiment with hydrogen unless you are properly trained and use the proper safety equipment. So far the production of hydrogen is not enough to run on the conventional charging system of a car or truck. We know if the expense is too great, it will not help the average person. Producing hydrogen or other sources of energy at an affordable price is our goal. Please read our hydrogen basics page and you are welcome to look at our test results in hopes you will not waste your time or money. You can run an engine on Hydrogen but we use household current to make it. We have tried many hydrogen generators and pulse technologies. Our studies include the following:
