Fluoride linked to IMPAIRED kidney and liver function in adolescents, warn researchers
A study that was recently published in the Environment International journal showed just how dangerous fluoride can be in adolescence. The study looked at the relationship between the levels of fluoride in young people’s drinking water and blood and the health of their kidneys and livers. The adolescents studied were part of the National Health […]

Australian researchers use “green and cost-efficient” microscopic nanosprings to break down microplastic pollution
Plastic waste has unfortunately become ubiquitous in oceans and rivers today, posing a serious environmental hazard to marine creatures, ecosystems and people. In a bid to mitigate the ever-growing pollution of the world’s oceans, researchers from Australia have developed a way to clean water sources of microplastics without harming the microorganisms that live in them. Using […]

America’s search for fresh water goes in too deep
Groundwater sources all over the United States are going dry, and new wells are being dug deeper and deeper to try and find more water. However, advocates are concerned that drilling deeper for water isn’t the solution. Researchers Debra Perrone and Scott Jasechko from the University of California, Santa Barbara (UC Santa Barbara) published the first ever […]

Scientists use cheap plastic lenses to make solar-powered desalination systems more effective
As it turns out, the addition of cheap, plastic lenses can effectively boost the efficiency of solar-powered water desalination systems. This is according to researchers from Rice University’s Laboratory for Nanophotonics (LANP), who found that by concentrating sunlight into “hotspots” using lenses, they could boost the efficiency of solar-powered membrane distillation desalination systems by more […]

Antioxidants also shield you from the harmful effects of water contaminants, according to study
Contaminants are ever present, even in seemingly clean water. Researchers suggest that antioxidants such as vitamin C and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) may help protect you from the harmful effects of hexavalent chromium, a contaminant commonly found in drinking water. Researchers from Olivet Nazarene University in Bourbonnais, Illinois looked at human cells to determine whether antioxidants […]

Study: Can antioxidants in green tea and vitamin C protect you from toxins in drinking water?
It may sound alarming, but access to safe drinking water in the U.S. is not guaranteed. Unfortunately, around 90 contaminants are regulated under the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Safe Drinking Water Act, despite multiple studies showing hundreds of contaminants present in the water supply. Despite the lack of implementation, there are still things that you can do to help keep your water clean […]

Consumption of arsenic-contaminated water linked to increased risk of heart disease, warn researchers
When you think of what you might be consuming that could raise your risk of heart disease, foods like red meat and French fries might come to mind, but did you know that water can also have this effect? Unfortunately, if your water contains arsenic, you could well be raising your risk of the deadly […]

Enhancing water harvesting efficiency: Researchers develop unique graphene foam that “harvests” water from air
Most water harvesting systems collect precipitation such as rain or water droplets from fog and other low-lying clouds. But a new device developed by Chinese researchers can get it directly from the atmosphere, provided there is sunlight. The new water collection system features nano-composite foam made from graphene. It relies on sunlight to power its processes, […]

Advanced new technology protects drinking water from algal toxins naturally
The water crisis that struck Toledo in 2014 spurred local researchers to look for ways to protect drinking water supplies from microcystin contamination. Using natural bacteria that live Lake Erie, they developed a biofilter that destroys the toxic contaminant produced by algal blooms. Supported by the University of Toledo (UT) and led by Dr. Jason Huntley, the study identified 13 different species of bacteria […]

Silicon-rich mineral water is a safe, effective way to eliminate aluminum from your body
Aluminum is one of the most common elements on the planet. This naturally occurring metal can be found in many things, including cookwares, kitchen utensils, and food storage wraps. Trace amounts of aluminum can also be found in processed foods and some medications. While aluminum is useful outside the human body, this element has no […]
