Water Safety Concerns:
We can not state that any brand of drinking water treatment device would be
effective in treating any and all biological and chemical agents.
Current drinking water tests done by the public
water utilities are not designed to detect most compounds likely to be used
in a terrorist attack.
Below is further information on the subject. Included are excerpts from
some other articles that have been published on this topic.
Anthrax has been around for centuries. It is known to infect
animals and humans. Anti-anthrax serum and antibiotics are prescribed with good results
when prompt diagnosis is made. Anthrax
is a microscopic organism with a physical size of 1.0 to 1.3 microns.
It can be removed by mechanical filtration that has a rating to filter out at this level or below.
Sarin Gas is a chemical nerve agent that affects the nervous system.
Nerve agents are similar to insecticides and they
can be deadly if people are exposed to them.
Chlorine - we are all familiar with this chemical element, which is commonly used for disinfecting municipal water supplies. Chlorine is a toxic gas; it was one of the first gases used in chemical warfare in World War I. Many carbon filters effectively reduce chlorine in drinking water.
