In the face of the increasingly serious water pollution, our tap water treatment process, or use for decades: the chlorine gas precipitation, filtration, disinfection method, so simple processing process of tap water, you rest assured to drink?
For chlorine, let's look at a few more questions:
The harm of residual chlorine, affect everybody!
The source of cancer is water!!!
Do you know the ghosts in the water?

What is chlorine?

It is a strong oxidant, and carbon dioxide exposure can form, light gas can be liquefied under high pressure for liquid chlorine, density of 2.48 kg/m3, melting point 102 ℃, boiling point 34.6 ℃, with a white smoke in the air, easily soluble in water, alcohol and ether, its aqueous solution called hydrochloric acid.
3. Why is chlorine added in tap water?
A: tap water originally should be a kind of both health and safe drinking water, but as a result of environmental pollution, lead to a large number of bacteria and other harmful substances in water, in order to restrain and kill the bacteria in the water, in the treatment of the water in the process of adding chlorine.

A: chlorine gas is very harmful to human body. It can irritate eyes, nose, throat and upper respiratory tract. Causes acute pulmonary edema and pneumonia, high concentration can paralyze the respiratory center, appearance "blip death". Chronic exposure to low concentrations of chlorine can lead to chronic poisoning, resulting in a large amount of free radicals in the body that can speed up the ageing process. The main symptoms are rhinitis, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, cirrhosis, atherosclerosis, and even cancer. When chlorine is added to the water, it will make your hair dry, break, and split, which will also make your skin bleach, peel off the skin, and produce an extremely itchy psoriasis allergy. The organic decay of chlorine in the heat and the water produced the carcinogenic substances such as trichloromethane.
5. How does water containing residual chlorine affect the cleaning of vegetables, fruits and cereals?
A: chlorine will destroy the nutrients such as vitamins and minerals in fruits and vegetables, and seriously affect the absorption of nutrients in the body.
6. How did the residual chlorine enter the body?
Answer: the chlorine in tap water, for any capillary like skin, nostril, mouth, lungs, hair, eyes, meat and vegetables, etc., it can easily be absorbed quickly.
7. Why is it easy to get absorbed through human skin?
A: because the skin of the human body is covered in pores and sweat glands, in the moment of contact with tap water, the residual chlorine can easily be absorbed through these tiny pores into the skin of the human body.
8. What are the dangers of bathing in water with residual chlorine for a long time?
Answer: with water bath containing the residual chlorine, chlorine gas is forty percent of the total amount of bathroom be inhaled through breathing, thirty percent is absorbed by the skin, is normally enter the human body through drinking 6 ~ 8 times of chlorine, light person produce itching, accumulate over a long period to middle-aged cancer rate can be increased by 30%;
9. Why is it more harmful to boil water?
A: tap water to boil, chlorine and organic substance in water after heating to produce the carcinogenic substances such as chloroform, chloroform will increase 3 ~ 4 times more than tap water, if the residual chlorine, does not remove our daily drinking coffee, tea or soup, after heating boiling drinking; We have three to four times more carcinogens in our bodies.
10. What diseases can you get from drinking water containing residual chlorine for a long time?
Answer: heart disease, coronary atherosclerosis, anaemia, bladder cancer, liver cancer, rectal cancer, hypertension and allergy.
11. What harm does the residual chlorine do to children?
Answer: use tap water to give the child bath, chloro can make hair produce dry and disacerbity break dissection, also can make skin bleaching, skin layer fall off and produce a tickle of extremely itchy skin allergy; When chlorine and organic compounds, such as sweat, interact with each other, it is easy to create three chlorinated nitrogen in the surrounding air, which can easily damage the eyes and throat. When chlorine is inhaled through the respiratory tract, it can damage the respiratory cells (Clara cells), leading to asthma and emphysema.
12. What harm does residual chlorine do to pregnant women?
A: pregnant women who drink water containing chlorine for a long time can have an effect on fetal heart and lung growth, resulting in irregular heartbeat, heart failure, and lung dysfunction.
What is the harm of residual chlorine to the elderly?
Answer: can cause atherosclerosis, heart failure, arteriosclerosis, heart disease, bladder cancer, liver cancer, rectal cancer, hypertension.
Experts point out that China's water pollution problem is outstanding and the treatment of water pollution can not be immediately apparent in a short period of time, and it will be difficult to control the difficulties in the next two or three decades. While traditional drinking water is limited, how can people drink safe and reliable water? Facing increasingly serious water pollution, we want to let oneself rest assured healthy drinking water, actually not difficult also, that is to own home on a run, the central water purification machines, water adsorption by quartz sand, activated carbon filter material residual chlorine, heavy metals, algae, viruses, organic matter, and filtering the rust, suspended solids and other harmful substances, can ensure the security of household water, because from the municipal tap water disinfection, pipeline aging, secondary pollution of water supply, etc.
Because: someone can pay for you, drive a car, or even more big things can be replaced! But no one can get sick and die for you!
