We live on the blue planet. Whether plant, animal or human, water plays a crucial role for every organism. However, only the smallest part of the total water supply on earth, namely 0.3%, is available as drinking water. This little water, measured by the total water supply on earth, is in danger. Scientists point to the worrying increase in the pollution of our drinking water resources. A radical rethink in how we deal with our environment is therefore urgently necessary. Clean, unpolluted drinking water is becoming increasingly scarce. Chemical wastewater from industry and agriculture, household wastewater full of cleaning and cleaning agents and the infiltration of poisons from hazardous waste landfills into the groundwater, make it increasingly difficult for waterworks and especially well owners of own and individual supply systems to comply with official limit values. However, the health risks of water pollution are still insufficiently researched and only a few effects are known, such as those of: nitrate, nitrite, pesticides (e.g. atrazine), "pseudohormones", drug residues, antibiotics, lead, copper, phosphate , Chlorine, etc. Depending on the substance, they are considered carcinogenic, can cause damage to the genetic material, infertility, functional disorders in the nervous system or brain, damage to bones and skeleton, learning and concentration difficulties, or, as with nitrite, even death in infants to lead.

But even if limit values ​​are observed, there are no studies on the summation effect of the substances or what chemical compounds they form in the body. Scientists are warning of new disease- causing bacteria that have led to a sharp increase in resistant bacteria and microorganisms through the increased use of antibiotics in medicine and animal husbandry. The scientists are also concerned about the resistance of bacteria and parasites (cryptosporidia, etc.) to the chemicals commonly used in water treatment (chlorination, ozonation) or UV radiation. Quality assurance and protection against water pollution Almost all dishes are prepared or cooked with water, vegetables and fruit washed, coffee and tea brewed. The "drinking water" is partly used in the boiled state, but above all pollutants cannot be eliminated. They get into our body unhindered with the food. Up to the age of 60, an adult consumed an average of 55,000 liters of water. With such a quantity, it is only understandable that we want healthy, pure water. In the long term, of course, only an ecological approach to nature is a way out of this misery. But in order to be able to be sure now that you are not endangering your own health anymore, initiative also seems to be necessary with regard to water treatment.
