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
