A study conducted by Indian Medical Association (IMA) on the different available drinking water resources has revealed that boiling is not a solution to purify drinking water as boiling does not remove the soluble impurities present in the water.
The independent study conducted by IMA to check the purity levels of boiled water, tap water and that which has been passed through Kent RO’s RO+UV (Reverse Osmosis + Ultra-Violet) technology stated that “dangerous bacillus anthrax, tetanus, gas gangrene spores may not be killed by boiling water . Even boiling cant remove chemicals requiring boiling point 100 degree centigrade or heavy metal contaminants, however, a combination of RO+UV is better than each method of water purification alone. Mahesh Gupta, an IITian and founder of Kent’s mineral RO technology said, unfortunately people at large are not aware of dissolved impurities like arsenic in the water which are silent killers. The recent reports of parliamentary panel states 74 lakhs people in India are effected with one or some disease due to consuming water having excess arsenic.
