Invisible Poisons: Phenols and Phthalates in Your Drinking Water

Unsichtbare Gifte: Phenole und Phthalate in Ihrem Trinkwasser

Drinking water is life - but how safe is your water really? Phenols , phthalates and alkylphenols are chemical pollutants that often find their way into our drinking water unnoticed. They come from plastics, industrial waste and cleaning products. These substances act as endocrine disruptors, attack the hormone system and can have devastating consequences for your health.

How do these toxins get into the water?

Industrial wastewater and plastic products are the main sources. Phenols from disinfectants, phthalates from plasticizers and alkylphenols from cleaning agents seep into the groundwater. Studies show that up to 10 micrograms of phenols per liter of water can occur in contaminated regions. Over the course of a year, the average household absorbs several milligrams of these substances - a slow poisoning.

What does this mean for your health?

Phenols are suspected of promoting cancer and weakening the immune system. Phthalates impair fertility, disrupt development in children and can cause metabolic diseases such as diabetes. Alkylphenols are particularly insidious because they have hormone-like effects in very small doses and can lead to thyroid diseases in the long term.
