PDS_GC_Microplastics
AquaTru® reduces extremely fine particles by 96.48%—including microplastics, which may trigger inflammation and transport hazardous chemicals, as well as cysts that can lead to gastrointestinal issues. By targeting these minute yet harmful contaminants, AquaTru delivers water that is noticeably cleaner and safer.
Example: From an initial concentration of 1,400,000 particles/mL, AquaTru effectively filters out the vast majority, leaving your water considerably purer.
| Substance | How it gets into the water | Potential health effects |
|---|---|---|
|
Microplastics, Particles 0.5 to < 1 µm |
Breakdown of larger plastic debris, synthetic fibers, industrial runoff | Inflammation, carriers for chemicals that disrupt cellular functions |
| Cyst | Typically from fecal contamination or infiltration of surface water containing protozoa (e.g., Giardia, Cryptosporidium) | Gastrointestinal illness, including diarrhea, vomiting, and potential longer‐term health issues if untreated |
Note: Particulate Class I (NSF/ANSI 42 substance) refers to very fine suspended particles sized 0.5 to less than 1.0 microns in diameter. This category includes microplastics as well as other microscopic solids.
