Once drug residues are in the water, they often stay in. Unless you take care of it yourself – with the right filter technology.
From the Amazon to the Thames to the Neckar and Danube, a new study has examined drug contamination in rivers around the world. In more than a quarter, the residues are dangerously high and affect the ecosystem.
High levels of drug residues
At every fourth of the locations examined, at least one active ingredient was so concentrated that it either harmed water fleas, fish or algae – or promoted resistance to antibiotics. Source br.de study-many-rivers-worldwide-with-pharmaceuticals-loaded SxgioJ4
The substances in the water recombine and under certain circumstances form toxic compounds, the effects of which no one can answer today.
What can a solution look like?
General solutions are not available. Drug residues are a global and unfortunately ongoing problem. A thorough solution can only be achieved through filter technology capable of removing these substances. Water filters from BestElements offer this technology with reverse osmosis. The devices can be connected in private households or office kitchens. From this point on, the impurities – no matter how small they are – are reliably filtered out of the water.
For private consumers, and often families too, who are concerned about their health, this represents a reliable and, above all, long-term solution.
