    Introduction: tap water refers to the water for people's life and production that is produced after purification and disinfection by the tap water treatment plant Can I drink tap water with bleach? The tap water for domestic use is mainly drawn from rivers, lakes, groundwater and surface water through the water intake pump station of the water plant Can the tap water be drunk with bleaching agent? Nowadays, chlorination method is mostly used for disinfection of tap water The main purpose of chlorination of public water supply is to prevent water-borne diseases This method has been popularized for more than 100 years It has relatively perfect production technology and equipment Chlorine gas used for disinfection of tap water has the advantages of good disinfection effect, low cost and almost no harmful substances However, through the understanding and research of theoretical data, it is found that there are still some disadvantages in chlorine used for disinfection of tap water Chlorinated tap water can produce carcinogens At present, experts have put forward many improvement measures Chlorine is easy to dissolve in water and combine with water to form hypochlorite and hydrochloric acid Hypochlorite plays an important role in the whole disinfection process For the odor producing inorganic substances, it can thoroughly oxidize and disinfect them For the living natural substances such as algae and bacteria, it can penetrate the cell wall, oxidize its enzyme system (enzyme as biocatalyst) to make it inactive, and make the life activities of bacteria suffer from obstacles and die Hypochlorite itself is neutral and easy to approach the bacterial body, showing a good sterilization effect Hypochlorite ion also has a certain disinfection effect, but it has a negative charge and is difficult to approach the bacterial body (bacterial body has a negative charge) Therefore, compared with hypochlorite, its sterilization effect is much worse, so chlorine disinfection effect is better than bleaching powder disinfection The smell of bleaching powder (84 disinfected water) in tap water is the residual chlorine smell after chlorine disinfection The chlorine in the water has a certain concentration, which can not only ensure the water quality, but also be harmless to human body In fact, the smell of residual chlorine will disappear after half an hour In order to ensure that the water quality in the whole pipe network conforms to the national sanitary standard for drinking water, and that bacteria and other microorganisms have no living conditions in water treatment, there must be a disinfection process in the production of tap water to ensure that the residual chlorine value of the outgoing water is 0.3mg/l-4mg/l (National standard) Water plants sometimes adjust the amount of chlorine added to the water due to different seasons and raw water quality In this case, the tap water will have a relatively strong smell of chlorine, which is normal A small amount of residual chlorine in the water will not cause harm to human body Many foods use bleach, so is it safe to bleach? In fact, if it is used according to the national regulations, it will not be dangerous Now the state has a food safety detector, which can quantitatively detect 50 parameters in the food on the spot So that we can eat more safe food, more food safety knowledge in the hundred safety net Editor in charge: he xianrob
