WORLD FOOD DAY

Food contamination can take place through various factors but one of the most important factor is “WATER”. If the water bodies like ocean, rivers are polluted/contaminated, the contamination directly or indirectly enters the human body causing health issues.

According to World Health Organization, every year more than 3.4 million people die as a result of water related diseases, making it the leading cause of disease and death around the world.

Micro plastic is a major threat and is getting into the human body. Particles of micro plastic have been found in samples of tap water from around the world and in some of the sea foods and sea salt that we eat.  The particles transport molecules that are harmful to humans at certain concentrations.

The treatment of water can be done at the source / supply stage or at the POE / POU stage. However, treated water at the supply stages picks up contaminants from the piping it is supplied in. Hence, it is mandatory to have a POE / POU water purification system at home. Making sure the water used for cooking food is treated well is of utmost importance to avoid diseases.
