Cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, are not harmless algae, but highly toxic bacteria that pollute millions of liters of drinking water every year. They are caused by over-fertilization in lakes and rivers, triggered by agriculture and wastewater. Their poisons - so-called cyanotoxins - get into the groundwater and thus into our taps.
In addition to cyanobacteria, plant toxins from agricultural wastewater, mold toxins such as aflatoxins , and substances such as saxitoxin or microcystin can also be found in drinking water. These toxins are invisible, but even tiny amounts can have serious consequences. In contaminated regions, 1-2 micrograms per liter can be found in the water - enough to pose a massive health risk if consumed over a long period of time.
The effects? Cyanotoxins attack the liver, kidneys and nervous system, causing nausea, skin irritation and severe poisoning. In the long term, they increase the risk of liver cancer and neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's. Children, pregnant women and the elderly are particularly at risk.
The idea that every glass of water carries an undetected risk is alarming. But you can protect yourself. Sydros water filters remove even the smallest traces of these toxic substances and guarantee safe drinking water - for you and your family.
