MEDICINE & HEALTHAre some types of drinking water healthier compared to others? Read to find out. There are different types of drinking water, but are some types healthier compared to others? Types of Drinking Water Some of the most common drinking water types are mineral, tap, spring, purified, and distilled drinking water.
Tap water is filled with minerals and contaminants, so is it safe to drink? Read to learn more. While all water contains contaminants and minerals, it is only considered safe for drinking if these are within established limits.
A team of researchers developed a reliable, high-performance graphene-based sensor which can detect the presence of toxins in water at low levels in just a small amount of time. Learn more about it in this article.
