The demand for water purifiers in Saudi Arabia
Important reasons for using household water purifiers include ensuring that the water your family drinks and uses for cooking is safe and clean.
Consequences of consuming unfiltered water
Drinking unfiltered water can be dangerous and have negative impacts on people's health. Unfiltered water can contain bacteria, viruses, parasites, and other pollutants that can cause gastrointestinal inflammation, diarrhea, vomiting, intestinal infections, and other diseases. Consuming these pollutants can lead to serious health issues, ranging from mild discomfort to severe medical conditions.
Furthermore, chemicals found in water can have various harmful effects, as follows:
Fluoride
Fluoride is added to some water sources to promote dental health, but excessive consumption can lead to tooth decay and can cause neurotoxicity and bone toxicity.
Individuals consuming water with high levels of fluoride are at risk of damaging their parathyroid gland. This damage can result in a decrease in parathyroid hormones. As a result, bones gradually lose calcium, and the blood develops abnormally high calcium levels. Lower levels of calcium in the bones can increase the risk of fractures.
Pregnant women exposed to high fluoride levels are at risk of giving birth to children with lower cognitive abilities and lower IQ. Another study even referred to fluoride as a neurotoxin that can be detrimental to the intellectual development of young children.
Excessive exposure to fluoride can lead to skin issues, cardiovascular problems, and reproductive issues.
Heavy metals such as lead, mercury, arsenic...
Arsenic
Arsenic is an extremely toxic substance, known as the "King of Poisons," which can be fatal to adults when ingested in an amount as small as half a corn kernel. Arsenic exists in two forms: organic and inorganic compounds. Organic compounds are less toxic than inorganic compounds. At low concentrations, arsenic can stimulate growth, but at high concentrations, it becomes toxic to both animals and plants.
Lead
When entering the body, lead disperses toxic substances to the central nervous system, peripheral nervous system, and affects hydro-containing active enzyme groups. However, lead is less excreted from the body and gradually accumulates, leading to toxicity.
Individuals affected by lead poisoning experience disorders in the bone marrow, which plays a role in blood production. Mild lead poisoning can result in abdominal pain, kidney inflammation, joint inflammation, high blood pressure, stroke, and reproductive disorders. Severe lead poisoning can be fatal.
Mercury
The toxicity of mercury (Hg) depends on its chemical form. Elemental mercury is relatively inert and non-toxic. Accidentally ingesting metallic mercury can be excreted from the body without severe consequences. However, mercury at room temperature easily evaporates and becomes highly toxic if inhaled. In addition, mercury compounds are also very toxic
Mercury poisoning in children can lead to mental impairment, involuntary convulsions. Exposure to mercury can cause brain toxicity, nervous system weakness, blindness, or kidney failure.
Pesticides
Effects on children's brains
Exposure to pesticides during pregnancy not only affects the health of the expectant mother but can also impact the development of the fetus, causing structural changes in the baby's brain and affecting the child's future intelligence.
Another study has shown that children exposed to pesticides are more likely to experience mental disorders, autism, attention deficit, delayed psychological development, and other neurological disorders.
Causes of sensory and motor dysfunction
In a study, it was found that farmers exposed to multiple types of pesticides had decreased body sensitivity along with signs of peripheral nervous system disorders.
Causes of Parkinson's disease
Exposure to pesticides can increase the risk of developing Parkinson's disease. Research has found a correlation between the risk of Parkinson's disease and residence in rural areas, agricultural occupations, and consumption of local water sources.
Adverse effects on other body parts
In addition to affecting the brain, pesticides also have an impact on other body parts. They cause lung dysfunction, severe liver damage, birth defects, immune system suppression, and acute toxicities such as allergies, eye and skin irritations, nausea, headaches, vomiting, and physical weakness.
To prevent these diseases, people can use RO water purifiers, which have the ability to completely remove harmful substances from the water source. Karofi would like to introduce you to some of our latest water purifier models.
