HEALTH RISKS FROM DRINKING DEMINERALISED WATER

Abstract

The composition of the water varies in large part from local geological conditions. Neither groundwater nor surface water has always been chemically pure H2O, since water contains small amounts of gas, minerals and organic substances of natural origin. Total concentrations are considered to be of good quality dissolved substances in fresh water can be hundreds of mg / l. Epidemiology Thanks and advances in microbiology and chemistry since the 19th century, many pathogenic pathogens have been identified. Knowing that water may contain components that are undesirable is the starting point for setting guidelines and regulations for the quality of drinking water. Acceptable maximum concentrations of inorganic and organic substances and micro-organisms have been established internationally and in many countries to ensure the safety of drinking water. The potential effects of water completely deminarlised is generally not taken into account, since this water is not found in nature, except perhaps for the rainwater and ice that form naturally. Although rainwater and ice are not used as common drinking water sources in developed countries where drinking water regulations have been developed, they are used by individuals in some places.
