March 22 was World Water Day...it's time to make a change...what can you do to help?World Water Day was created in 1993 by the United Nations. Water.org uses the entire week to spread the word of sustainable safe water access for the nearly a billion people currently without it. Our goal is to make this a reality in our lifetime and so we celebrate water and all the progress that has been made, and that we are continuing to [...]
What it is:Hormones are chemicals that act as signaling agents. They are release in one part of an organism and transported to another part where they are recognized by a receptor and bind to the receptor, which results in a biological response. There are endogenous hormones, synthetic hormone analogues and also exogenous chemicals(hormone mimics) that can have hormone-like effects from exposure. Animals, humans and plants produce endogenous hormones. Plant hormones are called phytohormones. They can be effective at [...]
NEW YORK (AP) — It wasn't too long ago that America had a love affair with soda. Now, an old flame has the country's heart.As New York City grapples with the legality of a ban on the sale of large cups of soda and other sugary drinks at some businesses, one thing is clear: soda's run as the nation's beverage of choice has fizzled.In its place? A favorite for much of history: Plain old H2O.For more than two decades, [...]
Survey Shows Increased San Diego Support for Recycled Water; Desal Still Most Important. Support for adding treated, recycled water to the local drinking supply has grown significantly, but more San Diegans see desalination as the most important method of diversifying water resources, according to a survey presented today to the City Council's Natural Resources and Culture Committee.Support for recycled water use reached 73 percent in the survey of 400 San Diegans, taken by a consultant last June and July. In [...]
No Bottled Water The environmental cost of the massive consumption of bottled water has led some U.S. and Canadian local governments to consider a ban its sale. While this seems an extreme response, the scientific concerns are well-founded, and the facts may surprise you.Fact #1. Bottles used to package water take over 1,000 years to bio-degrade and if incinerated, they produce toxic fumes. It is estimated that over 80% of all single-use water bottles used in the U.S. simply [...]
Water is the single most important beverage that there is. Plain old water. Yet, studies have shown that many of us aren’t drinking the amount of water that our bodies need to stay healthy and strong. Lack of hydration can cause headaches, muscle cramps and even fatigue. Being well hydrated can help with clearer skin, a more effective metabolism, and even can help you to eat less food – a great bonus if you are actively trying to lose [...]
Choosing spring water over purified water could help prevent a dangerous deficiency. According to Lawrence D. Wilson, M.D., author of Nutritional Balancing and Hair Mineral Analysis, the reverse osmosis-filtering process (which is used for bottled water that are labeled "purified") doesn't just remove harmful pollutants from the water, it removes zinc-an essential nutrient for the body. Worse yet, reverse osmosis-filtered water actually "attaches" to the zinc that's already in the body and flushes it out. Luckily, getting your eight [...]
When it comes to contaminant removal concerns in the U.S., arsenic is one of the first to come to mind. Prolonged exposure to this chemical element, oftentimes found in groundwater sources, can lead to cancer, so removing it from drinking water is a human health priority. A recent study found that treating arsenic in drinking water not only prevented health effects, it also helped reduce the effects of past exposure. The study, reported in Environmental Health News, was conducted in Bangladesh, which faces widespread arsenic contamination [...]
The filtration process: This filter media blocks passage of contaminants through physical obstruction The filtration process involves some type of filter media, over which water flows. This filter media blocks passage of contaminants through physical obstruction, chemical adsorption, or a combination of both processes. Material construction of the filter media varies widely, but the most effective... medias are made from carbon or a combination of carbon with other elements. Modern filtration technology allows water filters to remove more and more [...]
Facts about arsenic What is arsenic and where did it come from, and why are we just hearing about it now?Arsenic is a naturally occurring mineral in groundwater. It is found in water all over the world as both As3 (arsenite) and As5 (arsenate). In Bangladesh it is truly a health crisis.1 In South America, 7,000-year-old Andean mummies showed the effects of arsenicosis (arsenic poisoning) from prolonged exposure to contaminated drinking water. Europe was the first to lower their arsenic [...]
