Because of the way shower and drinking water is chemically treated today, it can cause serious health problems as well as beauty disasters. Chlorine is often used to purify water for drinking and bathing. However, chlorine is very dangerous to our health. Such health problems caused by chlorine exposure include heart disease, bladder and breast cancers, hardening of arteries, respiratory complications, complications with asthma and bronchitis, and irritation to the nose and throat.  50% of our exposure to chlorine occurs in the shower, because the toxic chemical is inhaled in high concentrations.  Inhaling unfiltered shower vapors is actually more harmful than drinking the water itself!

Installing a New Wave Enviro Premium Shower Filter is, undoubtedly, one of the easiest and most effective ways to reduce harmful exposure to chlorine and other chemicals.  Not only known for its health benefits, using the filter does a lot to improve our cosmetic appearances as well.

Chlorine is also incredibly damaging to the outside of the body.  Chlorine can cause the skin to lose its natural moisture, becoming dry and damaged.  Damaged skin results in aging and wrinkles.  The money that most people spend on expensive moisturizers and lotions far exceeds the cost of the Premium Shower Filter long-term.  After using the Premium Shower Filter in a matter of days, it is easy to notice the difference it makes in the hair and skin.  Hair will become shinier and manageable, and will begin to heal itself from the damaged caused by chlorine.  Elasticity that was once lost, because of chlorine’s drying effect, will return as the skin regains its natural moisturizer.

The media coverage of the health dangers of BPA has really reached a state of extreme fervor these days.  As a result, many consumers have replaced BPA-laden items for safer materials such as Eastar ™ Resin and Stainless Steel.  While all of this is terrific for both our own health and the health of the environment, there are still many BPA-containing plastics out there and 2.7 million tons being made every day.  Another big concern regarding BPA is how to dispose of it safely.

Scientists have come up with a way that they believe decomposes polycarbonate plastic without releasing BPA.  The scientists, Mukesh Doble and Trishul Artham, pretreated polycarbonate with ultraviolet light and heat and then exposed it to three species of fungi known for remidiating pollutants.

After 12 months, the pretreated plastic had substantially decomposed without releasing any BPA, while the control plastic that was not pretreated before being exposed to the fungi showed almost no decomposition.
