portable from the U.S. (the name of the supplier's scientists are not yet known)
contained 260 micrograms of acetaldehyde, which is 80 times greater than its concentration in
tap water. Acetaldehyde is intended for use in the manufacture
acetic anhydride, acetic acid, aldehyde resin. Note
that Moscow authorities also argue that in the Russian capital the water you can drink
straight from the tap without boiling and filtering.



Japanese scientists have discovered a high concentration of aldehydes in nineteen species
mineral water - 5 of them are imported, and 14 types of domestic water. 17 species
water containing formaldehyde, causing not only cancer but also
severe allergic reactions in those who inhale it.



Scientists have been unable to establish the cause of contamination of this water is poisonous
chemicals, and the names of firms while keeping a secret. Only say that we have found
harmful chemicals in products received from the U.S., Canada and France.



Professor Sukeo Onodera, an expert on environmental protection from the Tokyo
University of the exact sciences, said that the presence of small amounts of aldehydes
in the mineral water will not affect consumers' health. "Slight
content of these chemicals threaten the health of people - he says. - Home
the problem lies in the fact that in some countries there is no system of control
allows you to quickly check the amount of aldehyde in drinking and mineral
water. Therefore, it is likely that in these countries regularly goes on sale
Water with extremely high concentrations of harmful chemicals, and yet
nobody knows what might happen if people continue to drink this
water. Need to develop a verification system of mineral water as quickly as possible ".



The upper limit of formaldehyde per liter of drinking water is 80
micrograms. Currently, Japan is developing new standards. Still
then in the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare of excess
content of carcinogens have not heard, and because these studies do not comment.
The newspaper notes that the quality standards for mineral water in Japan is not so
strict as for ordinary drinking water because it is always assumed that
mineral water, marketed, is pure.
