Nitrates in Tap Water & Prostate Cancer: Breaking News

Posted by: Rhona Reid On April 14, 2023 2:00 pm

Scientists have identified a link between waterborne nitrate and the risk of developing prostate cancer, according to research published in recent days.

The research goes further, suggesting that the results are even more marked in cases of ‘aggressive tumors,’ and prostate cancer in younger men.  

Nitrate in water is already linked to colon cancer, and these medical findings underline the scary nature of waterborne contamination. But what exactly is nitrate and how does it get into tap water in the first place?

Customized Hydration: Tyent Water, Your Way!

Posted by: Rhona Reid On April 7, 2023 2:00 pm

Customized hydration.  Bespoke. Made to measure. Tailored to fit. Whichever one you choose; the meaning is the same – a customized product or service that has you and your individual preferences at the heart of it.  

 

Customized Hydration Tyent Water, Your Way

The Tyent approach is different. We know that our customers are individuals. The contaminants in your source water might be different from your friend in

Philadelphia Chemical Spill: What Would You Do in a Water Emergency?

Posted by: Rhona Reid On March 31, 2023 6:40 pm

On March 24, a leak at the Trinseo Altuglas chemical facility in Bristol Township, Philadelphia caused up to 120,000 liters of latex emulsion to spill into the Delaware River. 

Concerned residents were told to continue to use tap water for the days immediately following the incident. The reason for this is the contaminated river water would take time to reach and enter the water treatment plant, and from there, the taps of local homes and businesses.

Are There Forever Chemicals in Your Glass of Juice?

Posted by: Rhona Reid On March 17, 2023 11:37 am

Coca-Cola and Simply Tropical fruit juice have been hit with a class action lawsuit after the “simply natural” drink was found to contain levels of PFAS – “Forever Chemicals” – that exceed ‘safe’ limits hundreds of times over.

Incidentally, even mentioning ‘safe limits’ of PFAS – the collective name for around 12,000 chemicals linked to a number of serious health issues – is a contradiction of terms, after the EPA announced last year that no amount of PFAS is safe.
