Any untreated/natural water is known to contain contaminants classified under Physical, Chemical and Biological categories. Physical contaminants include visible contaminants like mud/dirt, sediment or suspended materials. Chemical contaminants include naturally occurring organic chemicals, salts, metals, pesticides etc. but of these, mineral salts are desirable to some extent.

As our previous blog outlined, the water shortage in India has reached an unprecedented high. Simple yet effective solutions have to be implemented so that the next generations do not have to face the eventuality of a world without water.

The dropping water table is causing the drought situation to further intensify with every passing day. The condition is so grave that people are losing their lives due to severe dehydration. Especially in Maharashtra, the number of people affected is a mammoth 90 lakh. The water level has hit 2% and the dams are close to running dry in the state. With only 17% water stock left in Maharashtra, the government has deployed help. Water tankers were sent to the drought hit areas and financial aid is promised, so that the worst hit were not left to fend for themselves.

Just because we don’t see indoor air pollution, we believe it doesn’t exist. However according to World Health Organisation and the Environmental Protection Agency, the air we breathe indoors is up to ten times more dangerous than that outdoors. Toxic and impure indoor air is one of the main causes behind allergies, colds, sneezing, headaches and heart problems. This alone should be an indicator of how important it is to breathe safe and healthy air indoors.

Air pollution is only in the outdoors – the smoke from factories, fumes from motor vehicles and other chemical emissions, right? Wrong. Air pollution is not just an outdoor phenomenon; it exists even inside your home. You can’t lock it out of your home. In fact, as per an EPA study, indoor air is 10 times more polluted & dangerous than outdoor air. Shocked?

India faces a true crisis in the form of unhealthy drinking water. We know that healthy drinking water is every individual’s birth right. However, what several are unaware of is that 69 crore Indians lack access to healthy drinking water. While many of us have access to pure and safe water in our homes, how we do we ensure that it reaches the many people that don’t?

There are 17 different types of water conditions in India. Did you know that different homes can have a different water type? Your water type depends greatly on where your water is coming from – your water source. Knowing which source serves your home is information most of us don’t consider important. But how else do you ensure the water you’re drinking is safe and healthy? After all, your water source is what helps identify the right purification technology to suit your home.
