Home filtering systems provide best protection for drinking water

As news reports about pharmaceuticals in water circulate, here are several facts for consumers to consider:

Filtering systems in the home provide the highest technology available for treatment of drinking water. Less than two percent of all water consumed is ingested by humans, making these “point-of-use” systems the most cost-effective and environmentally friendly.

While specific product performance standards have not yet been developed for pharmaceuticals, many point-of-use technologies have proven effective for some of these emerging contaminants. Nano-filtration and reverse osmosis systems removed drugs tested by the Colorado School of Mines at full-scale facilities in Arizona and California. Activated carbon, distillation, ozonation, and advanced oxidization have likewise shown promise in removing many of these contaminants. Individual manufacturers can also test products for specific pharmaceuticals if they choose.

RONKONKOMA, NY — A recently released study shows that aquifers which supply the drinking water for this Long Island community face a greater threat then previously thought from the fuel additive methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE), according to a February 23 Newsday article.

The New York state Department of Environmental Conservation released a study on February 22 that showed MTBE plumes from previously undetected petroleum spills migrating toward aquifers that supply public drinking water.
