Bromate hazard

Introduction: bromate, a term not familiar to consumers but well known in the drinking water industry, what are the hazards of bromate? Ozone disinfection should be a good method of disinfection But the massive recall of brand bottled water has undoubtedly sounded a wake-up call The original ozone disinfection method may generate bromate in the water So what are the hazards of bromate? Next, let's introduce Baibai safety net in detail The study found that the long-term incidence rate of renal cell carcinoma, thyroid cancer and peritoneal mesothelioma increased significantly after drinking the bromate containing drinking water Therefore, according to the International Association for cancer research, bromate may increase the risk of human cancer, and it is harmful to human health to classify bromate as a class 2B carcinogen Nowadays, many mineral water is disinfected by ozone Mineral water usually contains a lot of minerals The higher the mineral content, the higher the bromine ion (Br -) in it When ozone (O3) is used for disinfection, it will react with bromine ion to form bromate (BrO3 -) The amount of bromate produced is related to the content of bromate ion in raw water and the amount of ozone added The more ozone is added, the more bromate is produced There are many ways to disinfect water, such as chlorine disinfection, ultraviolet disinfection and ozone disinfection Most mineral water manufacturers use ozone for disinfection This is because ozone will directly change into oxygen after disinfection, so there will be no smell after chlorine disinfection, and it will not affect the taste of mineral water Bromine itself is harmless to human body, but bromate is harmful to human body, and the risk of disease is related to the concentration The higher the concentration, the greater the risk The above is the knowledge about the hazards of bromate compiled by Xiaobian I hope it can help you who are interested Do you want to know more about bromate?
