Agricultural sources are the most common cause of water pollution. Many cities get their water from reservoirs or lakes owned by private farmers. These sources are susceptible to contamination by animals from neighboring farms. This happens when farmers apply pesticides or fertilizers to their fields without considering the environmental consequences. These contaminants can then contaminate the water source and cause disease in humans.
Drinking contaminated water causes serious health problems – both short-term and long-term – but good H2O is always available if the source is clean enough and well regulated. Contamination in agriculture is the biggest problem as industrial sources become dangerous if not properly regulated. Fortunately, good natural resources are available even in highly contaminated areas with proper government conservation programs.
Choose what is certain. The PEL75 filtration system effectively cleans water by eliminating rust and sediment, odors and chlorine, lead, bacteria and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) including pesticides and herbicides. Find out more about our offer.
