In some cities, municipal services for cleaning water uses an excessive amount of chlorine compounds.

But it is better to clean it for children. “For children, it is better to filter the water, because the water is chlorinated, and there are some trace concentrations of organochlorine compounds. These are carcinogens that tend to accumulate and are very difficult to remove from the body. No other methods – boiling, settling – do not clean them. It is better to have the simplest pitcher-type device at home, at least for children,” explained the specialist.

Water that forms scale contains so-called hardness salts – compounds of calcium and magnesium. They are generally harmless to the body, the doctor explained.

The cloudy suspension that can be observed in a glass of water, if it is taken from the tap, most often consists of gases dissolved in the water and quickly evaporates, after which the water again becomes transparent.

The expert reminds that it is best to use water with a minimum amount of salts for cooking food and drinks. Therefore, pure spring or melt water is valued in cooking.
