/boxed wine and canned sardines:

. boxed wine and canned sardines
are some of my favorite products
but are they a source of endocrine disruptors,
being exposed to plastics? not to worry:
the endocrine disruptors are even in our water;
there is no way to escape from them.

water purification

web.aq.care/water purification:
7.11: summary:
. we should store water for emergencies;
boiling is the simplest way to purify water;
but to store tap water in sealed containers,
you can keep it fresh with chlorine dioxide,
(not to be confused with chlorine bleach).
. if there's a chance the water has
protozoa protected by the dormant cyst form
such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium,
only boiling or a submicron filter can remove them
but you don't usually find them in tap water .

american preppers network water treatment

5: news.care/water/american preppers network water treatment:
. tap water is usually already chlorinated,
and can be stored as-is;
if storing filtered or well water
you will need to add two drops of
non-scented chlorine bleach
to every 2 litres of water,
assuming the chlorine is 5.35% strength .
. before using chlorinated water
let it stand ventilated for 30 minutes
so that the chlorine can escape .
Be sure to read the label when
purchasing chlorine for this use,
 content is best for calculating your needs.
Chlorine bleach will kill mostbacteria causing diseases.
.
Chlorine has a limited shelflife:
. stored between 50F and 70F
it starts to degrade by approximately 20% per year
to salts and water.
chlorine of the form 6% sodium hypochlorite,
has only a 3 month shelflife .
.
chlorinated Water has a 6month shelflife ..

Add 10 drops per quart when the water is cloudy.

Israel advances desalination

11: pol/desalination/Israel advances desalination:
desalination can be mainstreamed:
. Israel desalinizes water for a cost of
53 cents per cubic meter;
desalinizing 1,000 US gallons (3,800 L) of water
can cost as little as $3 .
. modern technologies, such as
the Seawater Greenhouse,
use solar energy to desalinate seawater
for agriculture and drinking uses
in an extremely cost-effective manner.
alternet 2010:
. by 2014, Israel's desalination plants
might provide 33% of their drinking water.
. reverse osmosis technology
is used by the Hadera plant
(the world's largest using such technology);
it does not involve heating the sea water .
