Water is essential for life, but contaminated water poses a great threat to your health.

Heavy metals are one such contaminant that is considered a silent threat to your health. Their presence in water may lead to life-threatening consequences

Unlike other pollutants, even a small dose of some heavy metals has the potential to disrupt your body’s normal metabolic functions.

According to a report from the Centre for Science and Environment, 75% of river monitoring stations in India reported alarming levels of heavy metals.

But your groundwater must be safe.

If you thought so, the results from the groundwater quality tests are even more shocking.

Over 80% of the Indian population depends on groundwater and toxic metals were found in groundwater in almost all states of India.

Sources of Heavy Metals in Drinking Water?

These metals can enter drinking water sources through natural processes, such as weathering of rocks and soil erosion, or through human activities like mining, agriculture, manufacturing, and improper waste disposal.

Heavy metals are naturally present in the earth’s crust. Rocks are a natural source of heavy metals like iron, copper, lead, arsenic, etc.
