(Natural News) Chinese researchers debuted a new photocatalytic disinfectant for eliminating pathogenic microorganisms in water. Made from incredibly thin sheets of graphitic carbon nitride and powered by light instead of electricity, the new disinfectant offered an environment-friendly approach to water purification. In trials, it reportedly purified samples of heavily-contaminated water in just half an hour.  It also killed nearly […]

(Natural News) In a long-term survival situation, is it suitable for distilled water to be your primary water source? (h/t to SurvivalSullivan.com) Distillation is an old and reliable form of water purification that has been around since World War II. This process produces clear and clean water that is almost entirely free of minerals, biological matter, chemicals, and […]

But what do you if your water supply runs out during a long-term survival scenario? (h/t to ModernSurvivalBlog.com) It’s dangerous to assume that you already have enough supplies should disaster strike, especially when it comes to a finite resource like clean water. Consider the […]

(Natural News) Illinois-based researchers tested out the effect of natural antioxidants – vitamin C and epigallocatechin gallate – on hexavalent chromium. They reported that the two antioxidants appear to inhibit the toxic effects of the increasingly widespread water contaminant. Hexavalent chromium is a heavy metal that has many industrial applications. It is a crucial part of chemicals employed in carbon and […]

(Natural News) Did you know that drinking water that contains too much iron can cause black stains on teeth? A study published in the journal Scientific Reports revealed that the high iron content and high pH level of consumed water and saliva are the reasons behind the appearance of black stains on gum-adjacent dental plaque. […]

(Natural News) Microplastics have now wormed their way into groundwater systems. A new study conducted by researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is the first to report the presence of microplastics in fractured limestone aquifers, a groundwater source that accounts for 25 percent of the global drinking water supply. Their findings were published […]
