[Virtual Presenter] In today's society, there is an increasing number of activities that can pollute our drinking water with a variety of contaminants. These include particulates such as rust, sand, and scales, organic contaminants including pharmaceutical compounds, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and endocrine disruptors, as well as inorganic contaminants such as lead, mercury, and asbestos. Moreover, microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and cysts can also contaminate our water supply. Additionally, improperly disposed-of chemicals, animal and human wastes that have not been treated or disinfected, and an improperly maintained water distribution system can pose a health risk. As such, it is essential that we take action to protect our drinking water..

[Audio] Water is one of the most essential elements for life on earth and an inorganic, transparent, tasteless, odorless and nearly colorless chemical substance, which is the main constituent of Earth's hydrosphere and the fluids of most organisms. However, modern society's increasing activities can lead to water contamination by factors such as rust, sand, scales, pharmaceutical compounds, VOCs, and endocrine disruptors, as well as lead, mercury and asbestos. Also, microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses and cysts can arrive in drinking water sources due to improper disposal of chemicals, animal and human wastes, inadequate treatment or disinfection, and an inadequately maintained distribution system. All of these can present a risk to health which must be addressed..

[Audio] Water is a finite resource and preserving it from contamination is of the utmost importance. Not only are there particulates, such as rust, sand and scales, but also organic materials like pharmaceuticals, VOCs and endocrine disruptors, inorganic materials such as lead, mercury and asbestos, and microorganisms like bacteria, viruses and cysts. All of these can be introduced to our drinking water as a result of the activities of modern society. Moreover, untreated animal and human waste, chemicals and a poorly managed distribution network constitute additional risks to public health. It is, therefore, essential that we take precautionary measures to protect this precious resource..

[Audio] As we can see on the slide, water can be an essential part of our life and sustain our body. It may appear, smell and taste clean, yet can be contaminated from sources which are not effectively kept up or treated, with particulates such as rust, sand and scales, organic contaminants, inorganic contaminants and microorganisms like bacteria, viruses and cysts. These contaminants can present a serious peril to our well-being. Thus, it is necessary to be mindful of these issues and take care of our environment to assure safe and healthy water for everyone..

[Audio] As the world advances and develops, the potential for contaminants to enter our drinking water supply increases. Particles such as rust, sand and scales, organic compounds including pharmaceuticals, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and endocrine disruptors, inorganic contaminants like lead, mercury and asbestos, and microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses and cysts (protozoa) can all contaminate drinking water. In addition, poorly disposed of chemicals, animal and human waste, inadequately treated or disinfected water, and/or an improperly maintained plumbing system can increase the risk of waterborne diseases, which are commonly found in low and middle income countries but are not exclusive to them. Therefore, it is essential to take the necessary steps to ensure that our drinking water is free from contaminants and pathogens..

[Audio] Water is an essential part of life on Earth, however, many activities of modern society endanger the quality of our drinking water. Rust, sand, scales, pharmaceutical compounds, VOCs, endocrine disruptors, lead, mercury, asbestos and microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, and cysts can all pollute our water supply, largely caused by improper disposal of chemicals, animal and human wastes and failure to maintain a good water distribution system. According to the World Health Organization, 1 in 5 deaths of children under 5 years old is due to a water-related disease. On the bright side, some substances in water are beneficial to our health - calcium strengthens bones and teeth, magnesium promotes calcium absorption and circulation while fluoride prevents tooth decay. A significant issue with water is access to clean water, which is why water treatment systems are necessary to guarantee safe drinking water and decrease the risk of water-related illnesses..

[Audio] As the world's population rises, man-made pollution and contamination of sources of drinking water are becoming more concerning. From particulates, organic contaminants, inorganic contaminants, and microorganisms, our water supply is increasingly exposed to contaminants that can cause serious health issues. Unfortunately, these issues are particularly severe for children under the age of five, and contaminated water is the leading cause of death by diarrhea for them worldwide. It is therefore essential that we take action to protect our water sources and create a safe and healthy environment for the future..

[Audio] Seeing how modern society's increasing activities can lead to the contamination of drinking water with various pollutants is alarming. Rust particles, sand, and inorganic contaminants such as lead, mercury, and asbestos, as well as microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and cysts, all pose a potential risk to people's health. Poor disposal of chemicals, animal, and human wastes, in addition to an inadequate maintained distribution system, contribute to contamination, thus making it necessary to make sure water is properly treated and disinfected before drinking..

[Audio] Contamination of drinking water is an increasing concern in our society. Sources of water pollution include underground water, hot springs, as well as improper disposal of chemicals, animal or human waste, untreated or unsterilized water, and distribution systems that are not well-maintained. All of these can lead to health risks, which is why it is essential that action is taken to guarantee safe water..

[Audio] Rain is an essential resource in providing clean drinking water. It is a form of precipitation that results from the condensation of atmospheric water vapor to droplets heavy enough to fall under gravity. Rain is an essential part of the water cycle, providing most of the fresh water on the Earth. To make rain water safe for drinking, it should be collected, treated and filtered. It is also necessary to guarantee that chemicals, animal and human waste are disposed of correctly and the distribution system is kept in good condition so that water contamination and any other associated health risks can be avoided..

[Audio] Rainwater harvesting is becoming increasingly important in our modern society due to the various activities that can contaminate drinking water. These contaminants can include hazardous particulates, organic contaminants, inorganic contaminants and microorganisms, which all pose a significant health risk. Rainwater harvesting systems help protect us from this danger by providing clean and safe water. In 1989 the Philippines passed Republic Act 6716 which mandates the establishment of rainwater harvesting systems in all villages across the country. This law provides an excellent avenue to ensure the security of our water supply..

[Audio] Acid rain is a form of precipitation with elevated levels of hydrogen ions, resulting in a low pH level. This can have serious consequences on the environment, including damage to plants, aquatic life and even infrastructure. The cause of acid rain is largely attributable to emissions of sulfur and nitrogen compounds from human activities such as fossil fuel combustion. These pollutants interact with sunlight and water vapor in the atmosphere to form acid rain. Furthermore, acid rain has a part to play in the intensification of the greenhouse effect, due to ultraviolet rays being trapped more easily. To treat the issue, countries all over the planet should decrease emissions of sulfur and nitrogen compounds and elevate the quality of their air..

[Audio] Today, I'd like to discuss how modern society's various activities can contaminate drinking water. We'll be looking at the different particulates, organic and inorganic contaminants, microorganisms, and improper disposal of chemical, animal, and human waste. All of these sources of contamination can pose a serious health risk if not properly addressed. To demonstrate this risk, let's take a look at this photo. It shows what appears to be an igloo made from concrete, a giant beehive, and a structure that looks like it could be of alien origin - all of which are situated next to a body of water. While it looks like an interesting scene, this is actually representative of the issue at hand: our modern activities can have far reaching consequences that can be difficult to recognize..

[Audio] Today we're discussing a serious issue – the contamination of drinking water through the growing number of activities in modern society. This contamination can come from a variety of sources, such as particulates like sand, scale, rust, organic contaminants like pharmaceutical compounds and VOCs, as well as inorganic contaminants like lead, mercury and asbestos, and microorganisms like bacteria, viruses and cysts. Improper disposal of chemicals, animal, and human waste, not properly treated or disinfected, and an improperly maintained distribution system, all contribute to the problem and each pose a potential health risk. The most common sources of freshwater are ponds, lakes, rivers, streams, ice caps, glaciers, and icebergs. Freshwater is typically characterized by having low concentrations of dissolved salts and other total dissolved solids..

[Audio] With its vast area, the Caspian Sea is an important source of drinking water for many countries, including Iran and Russia. Unfortunately, modern society's growing number of activities can contaminate its drinking water with both organic and inorganic contaminants that can have a significant health risk. These contaminants can come from varied sources such as improper disposal of chemicals, animal, and human wastes, not properly treated or disinfected, and an improperly maintained distribution system. To ensure safe drinking water, we must guard against these risks through proper wastewater management and water treatment..

[Audio] Good morning everyone. Today I want to talk to you about Lake Baikal. Located in the Irkutsk region of Russia, Lake Baikal is the oldest, deepest, clearest and largest freshwater lake by volume. It contains 22-23% of the world's fresh surface water and has a size of 23,615.39 km3 (5,670 cu mi). It is estimated to be 25-30 million years old. Unfortunately, due to modern society's growing numbers of activities like the improper disposal of chemicals, animal and human wastes, not properly treated or disinfected, and an improperly maintained distribution system, drinking water from Lake Baikal is at risk of being contaminated with particulates like rust, sand, scales, organic contaminants like pharmaceutical compounds, VOCs, and endocrine disruptors, as well as inorganic contaminants like lead, mercury and asbestos, and microorganisms like bacteria, viruses and cysts (protozoa). It is essential that we work together to protect this vital natural resource..

[Audio] Earth's seas and oceans have an essential role in maintaining our environment and climate. However, this salt water is not suitable for drinking and must be treated and disinfected to avoid potential health risks. Furthermore, there are a variety of contaminants and microorganisms that can pollute our drinking water, including rust, sand, scales, organic contaminants such as pharmaceuticals, volatile organic compounds, and endocrine disruptors; inorganic contaminants such as lead, mercury, and asbestos; and microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, and cysts (protozoa). Poor disposal of chemicals, animal, and human wastes can also cause contamination of our drinking water, making it imperative that we understand these risks to ensure our water is safe for consumption..

Desalinated Water. Distillation. Membrane. Desalination is a process that takes away mineral components from saline water More generally, desalination refers to the removal of salts and minerals from a target substance..

[Audio] Water contamination caused by modern society's activities is a growing concern. Rust, sand, scales, organic and inorganic chemicals, microorganisms, and improperly treated or disinfected chemicals, animal, and human wastes constitute a threat to safe drinking water. Desalination is seen as a potential solution, though it comes with drawbacks such as waste disposal, the production of brine, and the use of pre-treatment and cleaning chemicals. It is important to bear these issues in mind when discussing desalination as a means of providing clean drinking water..

[Audio] Water contamination is a major challenge, especially for coastal cities, due to modern society's activities which can significantly reduce the quality of our drinking water sources. Contamination can result from chemical runoff or improper waste disposal, and desalination processes, though helpful in providing clean water, can potentially have adverse effects on ocean life and require high energy demands. In order to protect our environment and our health, preventive steps should be taken to avoid water contamination and to guarantee the safety of our desalination methods..

[Audio] Today, I'd like to discuss the risk posed to over 60% of households in Metro Manila who get their drinking water from refilling stations. As we can see, this water is not always filtered or disinfected, and may contain particulates and other contaminants such as lead, mercury, asbestos, and microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, or cysts. This poses a potential health risk to the people consuming this water. The only way to ensure safe and clean drinking water is to use water sources that are approved by the local government..

[Audio] Discussing how modern society's activities can lead to water contamination, we must be mindful of rust, sand, scales, and organic and inorganic contaminants entering the water supply. Such contaminations can lead to potential health risks, unless proper treatment or disinfection is administered or if there is an improperly maintained distribution system. Taking necessary steps to protect our water supply is essential..

[Audio] Water refilling stations are essential to modern societies for providing safe and quality drinking water for households and businesses. However, water contamination from particulates, organic and inorganic contaminants, and microorganisms can potentially lead to the spread of waterborne illnesses. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure that these stations comply with standards and procedures, obtain permits, and follow the necessary container handling, storage, and delivery protocols. Increasingly, there is a greater emphasis on reducing plastic waste, thus necessitating restrictions on bottled water in certain areas. Hence, it is important to evaluate the safety practices of water refilling stations for the benefit of public health..

[Audio] The study conducted by the Pediatric Infectious Disease Society of the Philippines has yielded some important findings. The results indicated that even freshly refilled water from refilling stations did not have detectable microorganisms. This indicates that through careless handling of containers and inadequate regulatory compliance, the potential for contamination is real. Consequently, an independent informal survey found that when chemical, animal, and human wastes are not treated and disinfected, the risk of contamination is much higher. It is imperative that we remember that consuming impure water can lead to several health problems. Thus, it is essential that the necessary precautions are taken for obtaining clean and safe drinking water..

[Audio] This presentation focuses on the dangers of contaminated water and the health regulations for water refilling stations. Our drinking water can be contaminated with particulates, organic and inorganic contaminants, and microorganisms, all of which pose a risk to our health. To prevent contamination, it is important to ensure that any water refilling station is located at least 25 meters away from any source of potential pollution and is not in an area prone to flooding. The Department of Health has a 20-item checklist of standards that a water refilling station should pass, with a score of 50 out of 100 required for it to operate, as well as protective gear worn by anyone working in the water refilling station. Following these regulations helps to ensure that the water we drink is clean and safe..

[Audio] We need to be aware of the risks that modern society poses to our drinking water. As shown in this slide, pollutants like rust, sand, scale, organic compounds, VOCs, and endocrine disruptors, in addition to inorganic contaminants such as lead, mercury, and asbestos, and microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and cysts, can all contaminate our intakes of water. Moreover, improper disposal of chemicals, animal waste, and human waste, if not treated or disinfected, as well as an inadequately maintained distribution system, can all contribute to a potential health risk. It is thus essential for us to take precautions to guarantee the safety and cleanliness of our water supply. For instance, water refilling stations must use closed delivery vehicles to transport their containers, to prevent the exposure of dust, heat, pollution, and direct sunlight. Likewise, these stations should only refill containers and not sell pre-packaged, bottled water..

[Audio] We will be discussing the different methods of filtering water to make it safe for consumption. A hand pump is an animation of a simple pump mechanism which is commonly used. It is effective in removing particulate matter, rust, sand and scales, as well as reducing levels of organic contaminants like VOCs and pharmaceutical compounds. Other filtering methods, such as cloth filters, sand filtration and emergency water filters, can help reduce potential health risks caused by contaminants like lead, mercury, asbestos as well as bacteria, viruses and cysts. These methods can help us make water safe to drink..

[Audio] It is undeniable that modern society has caused a multitude of contaminants to enter our drinking water, ranging from rust and sand to chemical toxins from animal and human waste. These contaminants pose a serious threat to public health, thus it is crucial to understand how to eliminate the pathogens in water. Boiling the water at 70 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes or 85 degrees Celsius for a few minutes will eradicate any and all pathogens, however it will not remove any chemical toxins that possibly linger in the water..

[Audio] Solar Disinfection is an easy and effective method to disinfect water. It is safe and non-toxic, and can be done at home. By placing water in clear glass or plastic bottles and exposing them to the sun for 6 hours (or 2 days if it is cloudy), the power of the sun's Ultraviolet rays (UV radiation) can kill many potential pollutants, such as particulates, organic compounds, inorganic contaminants, microorganisms, and chemicals or waste from humans or animals. This cost-effective method can help to reduce potential health risks related to contaminated drinking water..

[Audio] Chlorination is a frequent method of disinfecting water and warding off disease-causing microorganisms. However, introducing chlorine in the water supply can create dangerous chemical compounds such as trihalomethanes (THMs) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These substances have the capacity to cause cancer in animal studies as well as causing skin and internal organ irritation. Furthermore, some parasitic species have demonstrated immunity to minimal pre-chlorination doses, resulting in additional health risks. To reduce these risks, it is imperative that other water treatment methods, such as filtration, are used in tandem with chlorination..

[Audio] We are examining a process that can help remove hazardous materials from our drinking water: reverse osmosis. This process uses pressure to push water through a partially permeable membrane, capturing ions, molecules, and bigger particles, thus making our drinking water much safer and enjoyable. Reverse osmosis is among the most reliable methods of purifying our potable water, guaranteeing it is free from contaminants such as dirt, sand, scales, organic contaminants, inorganic contaminants, microorganisms, and wrong disposal of chemicals that can cause health issues. With reverse osmosis, we can ensure our drinking water is safe and clean..

[Audio] Water purification is a critical concern in today's society. Unwanted particulates such as sand, rust, scales, organic pollutants such as pharmaceuticals, VOCs and endocrine disruptors, and inorganic contaminants including lead, mercury and asbestos can all find their way into the water supply. Microorganisms like bacteria, viruses and cysts as well as improper disposal of chemicals, animal and human waste further complicate the problem. Thankfully, reverse osmosis provides a viable answer. This process uses a semi-permeable membrane to filter out contaminants and isolate any hazardous material. When given the proper upkeep, reverse osmosis systems can be powerful and dependable tools in providing clean and safe drinking water..

[Audio] x 3/8" Tubing 1 x T33 coconut carbon post filter 1 x Manual Today we will discuss the five-stage reverse osmosis water filter system and its many benefits. This system not only reduces and eliminates Total Dissolved Solids, or TDS, but it also eliminates pollutants from our drinking water. It is the perfect way to guarantee clean and tasty drinking water and can be used to prepare food, make tea or coffee, or even wash fruit and vegetables. It is a great choice for homes on city water supplies, and with its quick-connect fittings and installation hardware, requires no use of a plumber. The filters should be changed on your unit depending on usage and water quality and the system can guarantee peace of mind that your water is safe and free from any contaminants..

[Audio] Today I will be talking about UV light water disinfection, a method to disinfect water from harmful pathogens in our homes. Ultraviolet rays are able to penetrate pathogenic microorganisms and destroy them by attacking the core of their genetic material, their DNA. This is why UV light water disinfection is the most effective method to protect against water-borne illnesses. Additionally, UV light water disinfection does not require chemicals and is safe and easy to use. Hopefully this will help you to better understand why UV light water disinfection is the best solution to protect against harmful contaminants in our drinking water..

[Audio] "Ultraviolet purification systems are a great way to ensure clean drinking water in your home. These systems offer a chemical free solution with no added tastes or odors, and they are highly effective at killing 99.99% of disease causing microbes. UV purification systems also require very little energy to run, and the only maintenance required is to change the UV bulb annually. So, if you're looking for a safe and reliable way to purify your drinking water, consider a UV purification system for your home..

[Audio] There are several types of contaminants in drinking water that can be a risk to health. Boiling can remove rust, sand, and scales, but not THMs, VOCs, endocrine disruptors, lead, mercury, and asbestos. A water softener will reduce particulates, but not reduce levels of THMs, VOCs, and endocrine disruptors. Distillation works for THMs, VOCs, and endocrine disruptors, but not other contaminants. Reverse osmosis, granular activated carbon, and pressed block activated carbon can reduce THMs, VOCs, lead, and mercury, but not microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, and protozoa. UV light can take care of bacteria, viruses, and protozoa, but not other contaminants..

[Audio] This slide presents a table of data regarding the effectiveness of different water treatment systems in removing particulates, organic contaminants, inorganic contaminants, and microorganisms from drinking water. Boiling retains calcium, magnesium, and fluoride but does not have an effect on rust, sand, scales, THMs, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), chlorine, or endocrines. The water softener adds sodium but does not have an effect on any of the materials. The effectiveness of distillation is unknown for rust, sand, scales, and THMs, but is effective for VOCs, chlorine, and endocrines. Reverse osmosis is effective for rust, sand, scales, and VOCs, but not for endocrines. Granular activated carbon is effective for rust, sand, scales, and VOCs, but not for endocrines. Pressed activated carbon block is effective for all of the materials. Ultraviolet (UV) light does not have an effect on any of the materials but does retain calcium, magnesium, and fluoride..

[Audio] We are discussing water contamination, a serious risk in modern society caused by a variety of activities. Particulates like rust, sand, and scales can contaminate drinking water, as can organic contaminants such as pharmaceutical compounds, VOCs, and endocrine disruptors. Inorganic contaminants like lead, mercury, and asbestos, as well as microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, and cysts, may also pose a threat. Potential health risks can result from improper disposal of chemicals, animal and human waste and an improperly maintained distribution system. To keep drinking water safe, it is essential to take preventative steps..

[Audio] NSF International is a non-profit, non-governmental public health and safety organisation, with 60 years of experience in maintaining standards for food, water, and consumer goods. Established as a trusted authority for protecting consumers' drinking water, the organisation certifies products according to rigorous standards.
