"The study is a grave wake-up call that highlights the urgent need for further research to understand the full implications of these particles on cognitive and emotional well-being," said Dr. Fawzi, Bluewater chief scientist
"With so many studies highlighting the alarming presence of potentially harmful chemicals in many drinking water sources around the world, consumers are rightly concerned about the long-term health implications of exposure to these chemicals, which can range from endocrine disruption to increased risk of chronic diseases", says Bluewater founder and CEO Bengt Rittri.
Doctor Mirpuri points to how chemical endocrine disruptors are now found in a near endless list of personal cosmetics products, from perfumes to shampoos as well as in fire retardants used in furniture coverings and bedding materials.
High levels of nitrates, atrazine and arsenic in drinking water linked in a new U.S. study to birth defects such as cleft palate, cleft lip and limb deficiencies underlines urgent need for more research into tap water quality around the world, says Bluewater, a global leader in residential water purifying technologies and solutions.
Drinking more tap water may help people who want to control their weight or reduce their intakes of sugar, sodium and saturated fat.
