Remove Pharmaceutical Drugs From Your Drinking Water With Reverse Osmosis Treatment Systems From eWater Online

BOYERTOWN, Pa.--(Business Wire)--
Removing pharmaceutical drugs from drinking water is quick, safe,
easy and inexpensive by installing one of several Reverse Osmosis
Water Treatment Systems from eWater Online (www.ewateronline.net).

An Associated Press (AP) investigation recently found trace
amounts of pharmaceutical drugs in drinking water supplied to more
than 40 million Americans. According to the AP, drugs found include
antibiotics, anti-seizure, mood stabilizers, hormones, and a wide
range of over-the-counter medications. The concentrations found are
extremely low, but there is some concern in the scientific community
about long-term effects to human health. There is not yet a good
understanding of the potential risks from long-term exposure to low
levels of pharmaceutical drugs in water. But recent studies have found
startling effects on human cells and wildlife.

In their 5-month investigation, the AP discovered that drugs have
been found in drinking water supplies of 24 major metropolitan areas,
and locations in the states of Oregon, California, Nevada, Arizona,
Georgia, Kentucky, Colorado, Texas, Louisiana, New Jersey, Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

In response to the AP finding, the Water Quality Association
issued a report confirming that, "Filtering systems in the home
provide the highest technology available for treatment of drinking
water. Less than two percent of all water consumed is ingested by
humans, making these point-of-use systems the most cost-effective and
environmentally friendly."

The report further stated that, "While specific product
performance standards have not yet been developed for pharmaceuticals,
many point-of-use technologies have proven effective for some of these
emerging contaminants. Nano-filtration and reverse osmosis systems
removed drugs tested by the Colorado School of Mines at full-scale
facilities in Arizona and California.

"According to Utah State University Extension, up to 90 percent of
oral drugs can pass through humans unchanged. These often then move
through wastewater into streams and groundwater. It is generally cost
prohibitive for utilities to use systems such as nano-filtration, long
contact activated carbon, and reverse osmosis. However, these
technologies have proven successful at removing many contaminants in
home water treatment systems."

point-of-use water treatment systems that can be quickly and safely
ordered online.
