A focus on mineral content and toxic metal reduction
Keywords:
Water Quality, Coral-Mine, Toxic Metals, Mineral Content, Water Treatment, Public Health, Environmental Sustainability, Gastroenterological HealthAbstract
This article investigates the effectiveness of Coral-Mine in enhancing tap water quality, focusing on toxic metal reduction and mineral content optimization. Emphasizing the relevance of addressing water contaminants and the necessity for maintaining essential mineral balance, the study sets out to assess these innovative water treatment solutions. Utilizing a comparative analysis based on maximum permissible concentration standards from Ukraine and Russia, and incorporating findings from a related gastroenterological patient study, the research evaluates the impact of treated water on human health. Results demonstrate significant reductions in toxic metals and improvements in mineral content, pH levels, and total hardness, with positive physiological effects observed in patients. The study concludes that Coral-Mine offer a promising approach to water purification, with significant implications for public health and environmental sustainability.
