After the UV treatment, disinfect the water with chlorine or iodine. How do I disinfect drinking water with chlorine? You can use water purification tablets or bleach to chlorinate your water.
Water purification tablets You can buy the tablets from most outdoor supply or camping stores. Bleach To chlorinate your water using bleach, you will need: a 1-litre container a medicine dropper unscented household bleach 5. Mix the water very well and let it stand for 30 minutes. If your water is cloudy : Add 4 drops of bleach to 1 litre of water. If there is no chlorine smell, add 4 more drops of bleach and let the water stand for another 30 minutes.
How do I disinfect drinking water with iodine? To treat warm water, add 5 drops 0. Mix the iodine and water together. For pharmacy undergraduates, it will complement the excellent text on pharmaceutical microbiology by two of the present editors. It deals comprehensively and authoritatively with its subject with contributions from 31 distinguished specialists. There is a great deal to interest all those involved in hospital infection This book is exceptionally well laid out.
There are well chosen references for each chapter and an excellent index. It is highly recommended. The publication is highly recommended to hospital and research personnel, especially to clinical microbiologists, infection-control and environmental-safety specialists, pharmacists, and dieticians.
Covers the many methods of the elimination or prevention of microbial growth. Provides an historical overview, descriptions of the types of antimicrobial agents, factors affecting efficacy, evaluation methods, and types of resistance. Features sterilization methods, and more.

OSU reports as follows: Chlorine kills bacteria, including disease-causing organisms and the nuisance organism, iron bacteria.

Abstract: The chemistry of the formation of various species of titrable iodine in solutions of elemental iodine and iodide are described in a quantitative manner. The relative cysticidal efficiencies of various species of titrable iodine and the effect of temperature on cysticidal efficiency of I2 are described, and equations are given for computing the cysticidal residual I2 with a given contact time, and vice versa, at varying temperatures, as well as that for computing the cysticidal residual iodine in I2-I-3 systems.
The relative viricidal against Coxsackie B2 virus efficiencies of various species of titrable iodine and the effect of temperature on viricidal efficiency of I2 are described, and the employment of the equations used in computing the cysticidal residual iodine for I2 and I2I-3 combination, with or without modification, are given. Because of the incompleteness of the data other than those on I2 at 25deg;, values obtained in various computations are presented with reservation but are considered as relatively safe for use in practice.
The use of preparations of iodine for water disinfection in practice is discussed. Abstract: Iodine is an effective, simple, and cost-efficient means of water disinfection for people who vacation, travel, or work in areas where municipal water treatment is not reliable. Thankfully, you can purify water with Iodine, which will save your back, sanity, and health. Iodine treated water is safe for many people around the world except for those listed in the above section.
However, you should understand that excessive consumption of iodine disinfected water may be potentially harmful or at least unpleasant. Side effects of prolonged consumption of iodine treated water include:.
If such condition faces you, discontinue your consumption of iodine-treated water, and instead treat your water using another method. Although you can add iodine into water as a disinfectant, water contains iodine naturally.
Seawater has been known to hold large quantities of iodine while river water contains much smaller amounts. The best-known method for removing iodine from water is using activated carbon. This process includes the following steps:. The mixture of iodine and activated carbon will accumulate as residue on the filter paper, and the water that passes through will be iodine free. It would be illegal to sell lugols as an oral supplement if there was anything poisonous about it.
The same goes for vitamins. You should take one a day. They're good for you. If you try to eat the whole bottle in one sitting though, then YES, vitamins are poisonous.
So, trying to be constructive here, Lugol's has been used as an oral supplement in the past. Which is a heck of alot less than rats, and why they don't want people to use it, even though you are having a very diluted amount. Any lugol's MSDS within the last few years will state these values. It is dangerous to say that something is not toxic just because you can buy it of the shelf.
Warfarin rat poison can be bought as a blood thinner, even though it is extremely deadly. No more water for me! That stuff is ToXiC! Exactly who is the "they" that you are referring to who conducted these tests? How many controlled tests did they conduct? How much money is "the human" suing the company for, who tried to poison him with Lugol's solution? And the best question of all Did he get a tummy ache?
Maybe it made him turn into a pumpkin? Reply 5 years ago. I am an environment, health and safety expert with experience architecting biochemical warfare agent abatement systems and other air, water and waste pollution controls for major aerospace, mining, working with industry associations and DARPA. The mixture of nascent iodine and potassium iodide comprising Lugol's Solution is not toxic to humans.
It is necessary to replace the chlorine, fluorine and bromine that has keyed into every cell in your body; which, create a very toxic body condition!
A therapeutic dosage of Lugol's solution is necessary for a long time up to 1 year to replace those halogens with iodine, which is an essential nutrient for humans. Seaweed in excess is an issue, as seaweed adsorbs metals including arsenic, of which one can receive too much. The modern medical community is now doing great work with iodine for highly deficient communities throughout North America.
Do the research and get educated. All the best and respectfully,. Iodine can be used as long as it is the right solution I have been using it for yearsand I am fine. Perhaps just brainwashed by it. Yup, worry about iodine stains on you white coats and on your fingers, too, when preparing your own Lugol's solutions.
