Dr Abhay Kumar The pitter-patter of rains seems like a breather from the unbearable wave of heat.
Although monsoons are a pleasant change, one cannot overlook the host of seasonal diseases that rains bring along with them.
Also, people lack awareness about the right water purification technologies that are available in the market.
Listed below are simple yet effective tips that one can take to evade a spate of diseases that strike people during this season.
Get the water quality tested People assume that there is one single technology that can solve all water problems.
However, in reality there are 21 different kinds of water conditions across India and hence it is important to understand the water quality and decide on the purification technology accordingly.
Drinking boiled water alone is not sufficient While boiling water is effective in removing water-borne bacteria and viruses, it has no effect on chlorine content and cysts, nor does it remove turbidity and organic and inorganic impurities.
Since the chances of water contamination is high during monsoons, choose a water purifier that has the ability to remove new-age contaminants.
There is a range of superior water solutions which magnetise and decluster water molecules and unlock the essential nutrients in water for better absorption, thereby helping energise, activate, cleanse and detoxify the body.
RO systems A lot of people assume that RO is the best and the latest technology.
