Contaminated Drinking Water Leads to Activated Carbon Market Growth
According to a recent study by Market Research Future (MRFR), the global water purifier market is surging, and there is no sign that it will soften until at least 2025. Although there are other types of water purifiers, such as UV technology and reverse osmosis, activated carbon filtration remains a significant portion of the market. Here is what you should know. ...

Tastes, odors, and algal toxins in drinking water resources
Taste, odor, and appearance are the three key characteristics that consumers use to judge the quality and safety of water and aquaculture products. The global phenomenon of increased freshwater salinity may affect water quality. Technology is advancing capabilities to detect and treat tastings and odorants (T&O), algal/cyanobacteria cells, and toxins, as well as understanding sensory ...

Manufacture of a low-cost ceramic microporous filter for the elimination of microorganisms causing common diseases
Africa is one of the most water-scarce continents on earth and the lack of potable water is responsible for the death of approximately 4,900 children every day. An effective way of making sure that water is of good quality is by decontaminating it by means of a household ceramic water filter. The low-cost water filters suitable for the removal of suspended solids, pathogenic bacteria and other ...

Your Tap Water is More Toxic than you Think
At a Glance A new study proves that while adding chlorine to water has kept water clearer of diseases such as cholera and typhoid fever, it can leave behind toxic byproducts. These byproducts may have the potential to harm an individual’s long term health. At this point we don't even know all the byproducts left in the water from the current treatment methods.

Algal blooms: What are they?
Algal blooms are also known as marine blooms or water blooms, and are actually a sudden increase in the population of algae in water scenery. Algal blooms usually take place in freshwater, such as lakes and water reservoirs as well as in marine milieus. They can be easily identified by coloration of the water ensuing from the high density of pigmented cells. Though many types of algae can form ...

Impacts of Climate Change on the Occurrence of Harmful Algal Blooms
Climate change has been occurring naturally as well as caused by anthropogenic activities over the decades. In relation to the fresh and marine water, the concentration of greenhouse gases results in temperature rise of surface water, lower pH and changes to precipitation, evaporation and vertical mixing of water. All these consequences of changing the environment in combination with excessive ...
