Is tap water in Sofia dangerous for health?
According to the latest data , "drinking"- tap water in Sofia is absolutely harmless with low content of dissolved salts in it, which makes it suitable for everyday use and useful for the normal functioning of cells in the body. However, changing the preparation that "purifies" it can prove dangerous for its quality.
What is water analysis necessary for?
It is no secret that the water in water supply pipes is not always sufficiently well purified. The presence of pesticides, heavy metals, fluoride and chlorine in it is not excluded. In order to certify the purity and quality of the water, whether it is suitable for domestic purposes such as drinking, cooking, bathing, etc., an analysis is carried out. If contaminants are present, a water purification/ filtration system is installed.
Types of analysis:
- Abbreviated analysis;
- Full chemical analysis - includes 22- 24 indicators;
- Determine individual water quality indicators in accordance with customer requirements and usage specification;
- Abbreviated analysis - includes 9 - 16 indicators.
The water is analysed according to the following indicators:
- Technological - determine the composition of the water / iron, hardness, permanganate oxidizability, etc.
- Toxicological - determine the composition of the water / nitrates, phosphates, heavy metals, etc.
Why avoid drinking tap water?
Chlorination of water has saved mankind from many diseases such as plague, cholera, smallpox, typhoid, etc., but it is a prerequisite for people to get cancer. One of the main culprits in the formation of esophageal, rectal, chest, laryngeal and liver malignancies is the chlorine contained in the water, which enters the body during drinking and during washing. This doubles the risk of developing cancer. The situation is not much different with other chemical elements.
One such example is the increased concentration of sodium chloride in water, the most common salt, which causes abnormalities in the body's water-salt balance. Increased concentration of copper causes damage to mucous membranes, kidneys and liver, nickel- skin lesions, zinc- kidney disease. Lead and chromium are real killers. Their accumulation in the body contributes to the development of cancer and nervous system disorders. Aluminum was thought to be completely harmless for quite a long time, but it has become clear that with excess aluminum in the water, the likelihood of Alzheimer's disease increases significantly.
Lack of trace elements is also considered dangerous. Too high levels of fluoride could lead to stains on the teeth and too low levels could lead to tooth decay.
All this is not a complete list of dangers that would befall a person who consumes low quality water.
