Is tap water in the US safe to drink? NO! Recommended home water purification device

In daily life, do you directly turn on the tap to drink water?


Does the water quality standard meet the standards in your area?


How can I get healthy drinking water?



I believe that many people directly turn on the tap to drink water in their lives. In the United States, the same is true of many restaurants. The ice water served is actually ice cubes+tap water.


Although the United States has the most reliable and safe drinking water supply system in the world, do we really not have a question mark in mind? In fact, water quality varies greatly from region to region. In addition to federal standards, each state also has its own drinking water standards. Taking California as an example, The California State Drinking Water Act, is one of the strictest drinking water standards in the United States, and many indicators are Tighter than federal standards.


I live in California. In fact, I knew from the beginning that California's water quality standards are strict, and I usually drink tap water directly without buying a filter. But after further research, I found that the water quality is not as good as I thought, and many indicators are beyond imagination.



Water Quality Report Query www.ewg.org/tapwater‎


EWG is the Environmental Working Group, a US non-profit organization with the most comprehensive drinking water database in the United States. It aggregates and analyzes nearly 50 states and the District of Columbia across the United States Data for 50,000 public water systems. On the EWG website, just enter your zip code or address to viewEWGA survey report on water quality in the corresponding area.



Search results found that in the past two years in my area, there were3item pollutants exceeding health indicators. Among them, Chloratewill harm the thyroid gland;Chromium (hexavalent) span>andRadiological contaminantsTwo contaminants are carcinogenic.


Look at the detailsChlorateHow much does it exceed the standard? The leftmost light blue dot on the number line is the US National Standard112.9ppb, the middle dark blue dot is the California Standard< /span>128.2ppb, while in thisutilityThe detected indicator actually exceeds210ppb!


These pollutants threaten human health over time. We must not think that it is okay if there is no harm at present. We must pay attention to the local water quality. The problem of drinking water is closely related to our health. The problem must not be ignored.


The easiest way to protect is to use a water filter. When I used to study, my classmates had oneBRITAorPUR< /span>These brands are available in general supermarkets.

美国的自来水可以直接饮用吗?NO!家庭净水装置推荐

平时生活中你是直接打开水龙头接水饮用吗?


你所在的地区,水质标准是否达标?


有什么方法可以获得健康达标的饮用水?



相信很多人在生活中都是直接打开水龙头接水饮用。在美国,很多餐厅亦是如此,端上来的冰水,其实就是冰块+自来水。


虽说美国有着全世界最可靠和最安全的饮用水供给系统,但是我们真的不在心里打一个问号?其实不同地区的水质差异很大,除了联邦标准,每个州也都有自己的饮用水标准。以加州为例,The California State Drinking Water Act,是全美最严格的饮用水标准之一,很多指标都比联邦标准更为严苛。


我生活在加州,其实最开始知道加州水质标准严格,平时也是直接饮用自来水,没有另外买过滤装置。但在进一步研究之后,我发现水质并没有想象中的好,很多指标都超乎想象



水质报告查询 www.ewg.org/tapwater‎


EWG是美国非盈利组织环境工作组,拥有美国最全的饮用水资料库。其汇总和分析了全美50个州和哥伦比亚特区的将近50,000个公共供水系统的数据。在EWG网站上,只需要输入您所在地区的邮编或者地址,就能查看EWG对相应地区水质的调查报告。



查询结果发现,我所在的地区在过去的两年里,有3项污染物超过健康指标。其中Chlorate会对甲状腺造成危害;Chromium (hexavalent)Radiological contaminants两种污染物则会致癌。


具体再看看Chlorate到底超标多少?数轴上最左边的浅蓝色小点是美国国家标准112.9ppb,中间深蓝色小点是加州标准128.2ppb,而在这个utility检测出来的指标居然超过210ppb


这些污染物对人体健康的威胁都是日积月累的,我们一定不能认为当下没有造成危害就觉得没事,一定要关注当地的水质,饮水问题与我们息息相关,健康问题绝对不能忽视。


最简单的保护方法就是使用滤水壶。以前读书的时候,身边的同学人手一个BRITA或者PUR这些牌子,在一般的超市里都能买到。

净水装置推荐


据统计,在10个美国人中就有4个人使用各种形式的净水装置,小到净水壶,大到反渗透装置。美国人每年花在家庭饮用水净化装置上的钱就有数十亿美元。



1. 家庭滤水壶、净水装置:下面这款是我目前正在使用的PUR净水装置,可以去除96% Mercury95% of certain Industrial Pollutants。放在厨房里特别合适,它容量大,出水设计方便,煮饭做菜省心放心。购于亚马逊,3000个多用户评价4.2星好评。净水装置$254个过滤装置$20,每2个月更换一次过滤装置即可。





还可以放在冰箱里,直接接冰水喝👇



需要2个月换一次filter👇



2. 水龙头净水器:也可选择安装在水龙头上的净水器,不过买之前记得看清楚尺寸和形状,避免安装口不配。无论是过滤器还是净水器,基本上都是活性炭装置,可以吸走难闻的气味和一些有机污染物。


3. 淋浴头过滤装置:有很多宝宝有脱发的困扰,曾经的我也是,后来知道很大原因是美国的水质过硬。在淋浴头上安装了净水装置之后,脱发问题得到了很大程度的改善。建议生活在硬水地区的宝宝,在浴室安装一个淋浴过滤装置,亚马逊上的价格也不算贵,20多刀就可以买到。


祝各位小仙女们都拥有健康快乐的生活!
