There are at least 210 chemically different dioxins (PCDDs and PCDFs) with various toxicity levels. The most dangerous and highly toxic among these is the 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzodioxin (TCDD).[/vc_column_text][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DELNWMUIqGQ”][vc_custom_heading text=”What are the Uses for Dioxin?” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left”][vc_column_text]Although they have no common uses, dioxins are produced in small quantities for chemical, toxicological, and scientific researches. These are also byproducts in industrial processes, including pesticide manufacture and bleaching paper pulp. By 2001, the Stockholm Convention banned the production and use of the chemical.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Is Dioxin in Drinking Water Dangerous?” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left”][vc_column_text]According to studies, exposure or the consumption of dioxin-contaminated drinking water may result in reproductive issues and other health effects. A higher risk of acquiring cancer is possible for individuals exposed to the contaminant for longer periods.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”What is the Regulated Standard for Dioxin in Drinking Water?” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left”][vc_column_text]The Environmental Protection Agency’s MCL for dioxin is 0.00000003 mg/L or 30 ppq. Since 2,3,7,8-TCDD is highly toxic, it’s crucial to keep it below the regulated standard to avoid the health issues associated with the contaminant.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”How Do You Remove the Contaminant from Drinking Water?” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left”][vc_column_text]Granular activated carbon (GAC) is highly effective in removing dioxins below their MCL. It is among the mostly used filtration media today because of its efficiency in eliminating various water contaminants. Activated carbon is in most of the modern water filtration units sold in the market. You can keep your family safe from dioxin and other potential contaminants in your tap water with a reliable water filter system.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_widget_sidebar title=”List of Contaminants” sidebar_id=”cs-1″][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section]
