The ministry of environmental protection has issued a public report saying that 280 million people in China have unsafe drinking water. Ever in large area of the water source for investigation of the 11th National People's Congress environment and resources protection committee, deputy director of the Zhang Wentai is introduced, in addition to nearly 300 million rural population to drink on safe drinking water, living in the city of about 50 million people drinking water also not up to standard, "from the source to the waterworks to tap each link could exist pollution".

Danger to drinking water: the percentage of water in the original water is below 50%

China's tap water is very low standard water compared with the world, even if some of the tap water in the water supply pipeline network, tall tower water tower will also cause secondary pollution and substandard. Waterworks in our country at present can only to the physical pollution and purifying microbial contamination, and not to the chemical pollution, such as pesticides, insecticides, synthetic detergent, heavy metals, organic matter, inorganic compounds and other harmful toxins. So it's not completely safe to boil water and boil it.

In addition, according to the world health organization report, due to poor drinking water quality in the digestive tract diseases, infectious diseases, stones, skin diseases, diseases such as cancer, inflammation of department of gynaecology of more than 50, prove that modern medicine, human death is 80% due to pollution of the environment, all kinds of harmful substances caused by the remaining in the body, and a variety of harmful substances into the body is not normal discharge, 80% of drinking water.

According to the survey conducted by the center for water policy research at tsinghua university, the current qualified rate of urban primary water in China is about 70%, and if smaller cities are added, the data may be less than 50%. "Unsafe drinking water" generally refers to direct drinking of unfocused surface water (river, river, lake, etc.), groundwater (well water, spring water, etc.). Pan xiaochuan, of Peking University's school of public health, says that, for the time being, rural problems are relatively large. But in fact, in recent years, the water quality of the city has been constantly in question, and the flood of water and water has been happening all over the country, so that the residents will be worried about whether the outflow will be "poisonous water" when they turn on the tap water.

This also means that the number of people who cannot drink safe drinking water may well exceed 280 million.

Development of water purification industry in China

Of all the water safety issues, the most important concern is drinking water. Small to every family, big to public places of water, is a security issue that is personally relevant to everyone.

With the public's demand for the quality of drinking water rising gradually, the relevant policies of the state are constantly improving. On July 1, 2012, the new drinking water sanitation standard was fully enforced. On April 16, 2015, the water pollution control action plan was also implemented. The water pollution prevention and control action plan will usher in a golden development period for the water treatment industry. Public places such as schools, buildings, hospitals, airports and other public places are proliferating in the need for water purification equipment, and with that comes the rapid development of the brand of commercial water purifier.

At present, there are a wide range of market brands for water purification machines in China, and there are about 5,000 enterprises of water purifier in China, including the more than 2,000 registered and other unregistered enterprises registered in the state health ministry. The quality is uneven.

In countries such as Europe and the United States, Japan and South Korea, the public water purification service is very developed, and the penetration rate of commercial water purification machines reaches more than 80%. In China, the penetration rate of commercial water purification machines is less than 4%. China currently has about 1.4 billion people, and drinking water safely holds the precious life of 1.4 billion people. It is urgent to improve the safety of drinking water. The introduction of national policies has given all Chinese people who are concerned about safe drinking water a shot in the arm.
