Boiling water. What we know.
Boiling has, for ages, been the surest way of purifying water. It kills disease-causing organisms in the water, making it safe to drink. What it cannot do is remove sediments and particles in the water, which have to be filtered out.
Boiling water. What you didn't know.
Boiling tap water has little to no beneficial effect as public water supplies already use chlorine to achieve the disinfection done by boiling. In fact, it may have harmful long term effects as boiling chlorinated water releases small amounts of chloroform gas into the air. Furthermore, boiling does not remove the chlorine and chlorine by-products present in the water, which recent studies have shown increase the risk of rectal, bladder and brain cancer. It also makes water taste flat.
