Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are a group of chemicals that contain carbon and evaporate easily at standard temperatures. While some VOCs are naturally produced, others are man-made and can be found in common household items such as paints, solvents, lubricants, and formaldehyde. Improper disposal of these substances can lead to VOCs leaching into the groundwater, which can end up in the public water supply or private wells. Exposure to VOCs can cause a range of health concerns, from minor issues such as headaches and nausea to more severe problems like organ failure and cancer. In addition to health concerns, VOC emissions can also contribute to climate change and affect the environment.

So, how can you protect your family from VOCs in your water supply? One effective solution is to use activated carbon filters, which are known for their ability to remove VOCs due to their large surface area and network of pores and micropores. These filters physically attract VOC molecules and hold them, effectively removing them from the water.

Specialized water filters, such as the ones by Everpure, use activated carbon that has been treated with aluminium in a new technological process. Installing these filters in your home can prevent both ingestion and topical exposure to VOCs.

By using water filters, you can safeguard your family's water supply and protect them from the potential health concerns and environmental impacts of VOCs. Consider investing in activated carbon filters to ensure that you and your loved ones have access to clean and safe drinking water.
