IS RAIN WATER SAFE FOR DRINKING

Показать описание
In this video, we discuss the reasons why rain water is or is not safe for drinking.
1. Contaminants.
As much as rain water may be safe to drink, it can be easily contaminated with metals and other chemicals during the collection process.
Rain water collected in barrels is also not safe for drinking because these barrels do not have a disinfectant system or filtration system.
2. Bacteria and viruses.
It could also get contaminated with parasites, bacteria such as E.Coli that could cause serious digestive issues and viruses especially in highly polluted areas and this could be a health hazard when drunk.
3. Metals and other roofing material.
Some material that are used in roofing and gutters such as asbestos, copper and lead could cause serious health complications when ingested.
Asbestos roofing material has been linked to cancer known as asbestos cancer or mesothelioma that affects the lining of the lungs.
