PDS_GC_Heavy metals

AquaTru® is designed to reduce dangerous metals that can impact health over time, as long-term exposure to these contaminants has been linked to risks such as organ damage, neurological issues, and even cancer.

Example: Lead levels are reduced by up to 99.1%, going from 0.15 mg/L to below the safe limit of 0.01 mg/L.

 

Substance How it gets into the water Potential health effects
Arsenic Naturally occurring in soil and rocks, industrial waste, pesticides Skin lesions, cancer, cardiovascular disease, neurological effects
Barium Erosion of natural deposits, industrial discharge, drilling waste Increased blood pressure, kidney and heart damage
Hexavalent Chromium Often from industrial processes such as electroplating, stainless steel production, or improper disposal of industrial waste Known carcinogen; can damage the liver, kidneys, and respiratory system
Trivalent Chromium Can be released through certain industrial activities and may also occur naturally in some mineral deposits An essential nutrient in small amounts, but higher exposures may pose health risks (e.g., skin irritation or other toxicity)
Copper Corrosion of plumbing pipes, industrial waste Stomach irritation, liver and kidney damage, anemia
Lead Corrosion of old lead pipes, industrial pollution
Brain damage, developmental issues in children, kidney damage
Selenium Natural deposits, mining, petroleum refining Hair and nail loss, neurological damage, gastrointestinal issues
Radium Natural radioactive decay of uranium and thorium in soil

Increased cancer risk, bone weakness, immune system damage
