PDS_GC_Heavy metals

AquaTru® is engineered to reduce dangerous metals that can harm health over time, as long-term exposure to these contaminants has been linked to risks such as organ damage, neurological issues, and even cancer.

Example: Lead levels are reduced by up to 99.1%, dropping from 0.15 mg/L to below the safe limit of 0.01 mg/L.

 

Substance How it gets into the water Potential health effects
Arsenic

Occurs naturally in soils and rocks, industrial effluent, and pesticide runoff

Skin damage, cancer risk, heart disease, and nerve impairment

Barium Leaches from natural deposits, industrial effluent, and drilling byproducts Elevated blood pressure, kidney and cardiac issues
Hexavalent Chromium Typically from industrial operations like electroplating, stainless steel making, or faulty waste disposal A known carcinogen; may harm the liver, kidneys, and lungs
Trivalent Chromium Emitted by some industrial processes and can also occur naturally in mineral deposits Vital in trace amounts, yet higher levels might cause skin irritation and other toxic effects
Copper Corrosion of plumbing and industrial runoff Gastrointestinal upset, liver and kidney harm, and anemia
Lead Leaching from old lead pipes and industrial emissions Brain harm, developmental delays in kids, and kidney damage
Selenium Natural deposits, mining activities, and oil refining Hair/nail loss, nerve damage, and digestive problems
Radium Natural radioactive decay of uranium and thorium in earth Higher cancer risk, bone fragility, and immune suppression
