Nitrogen Water Contamination is Increasing Worldwide Continuing our series on water contamination, nitrogen is the next contaminant that poses a significant risk to humans. Most people don’t consider nitrogen when they think of nasty water contaminants. However, excess nitrogen can make water undrinkable in areas where water is already scarce. A recent study concluded that a third of the world’s water supply could be polluted by nitrogen by 2025, affecting
More Antioxidants than Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice Our Genesis Steel Water Ionizer produces an incredible 1500 parts per billion of dissolved hydrogen per eight-ounce glass of water. Most water ionizers don’t even come close to that level of performance. Dissolved hydrogen is the antioxidant in ionized water and has many health benefits. Here are a few of them: Dissolved Hydrogen Reduces Inflammation Besides being an antioxidant, dissolved hydrogen has anti-inflammatory
Meat Expansion Grants that Americans Didn’t Approve The animal agriculture lobby is powerful in this country. Over the last few years, one of its accomplishments has been creating federal grants for the expansion of meat production. However, these meat factories have a track record of heavily polluting our soil and water, leading to hundreds of thousands of Americans getting sick and even dying from exposure to nitrates, detergents, PFAs, antibiotics,

However, a new study has discovered that bottled water is full of nanoplastics. How much? About 240,000 nanoplastic particles per liter! What’s worse is that they are small enough to get inside our blood, cells, and even our organs like our

They test positive for excessively high levels of PFAs, endangering the nearby residents. PFAs are a Widespread Problem
Nitrates from Agriculture are on the Rise If you have well water, it might be highly polluted. In Oregon’s lower Umatilla Basin, officials describe the situation as a groundwater crisis. This crisis is caused by decades of commercial food production that has contaminated the aquifer below the region. Since wells tap into aquifers, the situation is not unique to Oregon. It is a problem nationwide that could be impacting your
People are Dying from Dupont Chemicals The Dupont chemical manufacturing plant in Fayetteville, North Carolina, has been dumping PFAS into the Cape Fear River for decades with environmental and humanitarian consequences. Well, the situation has gotten worse! Recent tests have discovered eight new PFAS in the river water with a direct link to an increase in thyroid cancer cases.

Lower Water Levels Concentrate Contaminants and Increase Salinity As you may know, the southern part of the United States has been under moderate to severe drought conditions for many years now. Well, it has taken its toll on the Mississippi River, which is now experiencing some of its lowest water levels in history. The water levels are so low that salt water is now pouring in from the Gulf of
