how is the sulphur contact in our drinking water
Answers
Answer:
Sulfates are a form of sulfur. Sulfates get into water through the earth. As groundwater and rainwater seep through the earth’s surface, they dissolve the oxidized sulfide ores and other sulfur-containing minerals and carry the sulfur into your home’s well, or water source. While sulfur is a naturally occurring mineral and water is a powerful dissolvent, the two aren’t necessarily safe when cohabiting in your water source. Sulfur in your water can cause complications such as pipe corrosion and scale in addition to the easily recognizable taste and odor issues.
Explanation:
Sulfur is not regulated as a primary drinking-water contaminant, so there is no official level of sulfur that represents a threshold between healthy and unhealthy concentrations. ... A few tenths of a milligram of hydrogen sulfide per liter can cause drinking water to have a rotten-egg odor.
