When you hear the words Maui, Hawaii, what comes to mind? Likely you think “paradise”!
No one thinks “toxic water” when they hear those words. But the fact is that if you go to that island for a vacation, and you use their public drinking water, you will be exposing yourself to pesticides in that water.
Water testing conducted on drinking water supplies in Maui found that their water contains the toxins DBCP (Dibromochloropropane), EDB (Ethylene dibromide), and TCP (1,2,3trichloropropane).
These toxins found in Maui tap water supplies are likely coming from pesticides applied to crops on nearby farms.
How harmful are these toxins? The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) reports that these toxins, found in drinking water supplies, are linked to the following ailments:
- Short-term: Kidney and liver damage, damage to the stomach and adrenal glands, along with significant reproductive system toxicity.
- Long-term: Kidney damage, infertility, cancer, respiratory system damage, nervous system damage, liver damage, heart and kidney damage.
Sadly, officials on the island are telling residents their tap water is perfectly safe, even though water testing points out that these toxins are in the drinking water supply.
How can they do that? Well they argue that they run the water thru water filters, and those water filters reduce the toxins to a level that is low enough to be considered safe.
But the fact of the matter is they really don’t know how these toxins impact people on an individual basis. At the very least, infants, children, the elderly and those with compromised immune systems will have a greater probability of experiencing terrible long-term illnesses.
Maui residents have good reason to be alarmed about these multiple chemicals found in their tap water. Because the fact is that these toxins are pesticides which are specifically applied to crops to kill pests. So when they enter into the human body, you can only imagine the terrible harm they can cause.
Residents are exposed to these toxins in their tap water when these use the water for drinking, bathing, cooking, cleaning, washing dishes, etc.
This is just one more example of how public water companies will tell their customers that their water is 100% safe, when it actually contains dangerous toxins.
That’s why AquaMD urges its clients to use its water testing and water analysis services on an annual basis, to determine for themselves what toxins are in their water.
AquaMD can identify toxins in your drinking/tap water and recommend the right filter for you to install to remove the contaminants before you use the water, thus helping you protect your health.
AquaMD knows that no single water filter exists that removes all toxins from water supplies- no matter what water filter companies have led you to believe. Only after you know what toxins are in your tap water, can you be told what water filter is right for you.
