Is it safe to drink tap water in Korea?

Is it safe to drink tap water in Korea? Do you drink tap water in your home country?Then is it safe to drink tap water while living in Korea too?Let's find out with Stay14 today about tap water in Korea! In the past, hygiene was not emphasized, so we used to drink tap water because there were not many harmful substances such as fine dust. However, recently, people are careful not to drink tap water due to various larvae and residual chlorine, including fine dust. - Harmfulness of tap water? Copyright : https://www.kwater.or.kr/eng/futu/sub01/healPage.do?s_mid=1200 Tap water is supplied to us after being purified by drawing water from lakes or rivers.Without this water, we would not be able to wash, clean, or cook.As such, water is a very important element in our lives. However, there are hygiene problems due to the chlorine remaining in the purification process and the aging of the drainage pipes. - Residual chlorine Copyright : https://www.forbes.com/home-improvement/pool/free-chlorine-vs-total-chlorine/ In tap water purification plants, disinfection is usually done with chlorine to remove germs in the water.This disinfection method is used worldwide because it is economical and effective.However, excessive exposure to chlorine can accelerate skin aging and cause atopic dermatitis.Carcinogens may also be produced. - Existent larvae Recently, tap water larvae have been found in various regions, and the seriousness of tap water purification is increasing.We suspect that the larvae are found because water treatment plants and drains are old and not properly sanitized. The larvae enter our body through water, which causes allergic reactions and causes various harmful infections, so be careful. - Countermeasures One way to combat the larvae found in tap water is to use a sterilizing filter in your water tap head. The sterilizing filter filters the larvae remaining in tap water once more to make clean tap water. - Is it okay to drink tap water? Korea has a very high water quality index, ranking 8th out of 122 UN countries.In addition, it is said that water quality tests corresponding to 300 items are meticulously carried out, so drinking it does not cause much harm to health. However, if you don’t want to spend your money to buy water, boiling can be one way to drink it. In conclusion, it is okay to drink tap water in Korea, but people with bad health are recommended to buy or boil water to drink. Hope this article helps you know about tap water in Korea today.
