How to maintain each type of Floor

It's easy to forget that the flooring in our homes need looking after; but it is essential to make it last longer. Here are a few tips to help you.

Wooden
Hardwood floors are the epitome of elegance and last for decades if cared for properly. However, a little negligence can leave the floor looking dull, warped and scratched. Here's how you can keep it looking beautiful:

• Always monitor the amount of sunlight that falls onto the floor. Excess sunlight can cause discoloration.
• It is important to protect the flooring from everyday wear and tear. To minimize the scuffing and scraping, use rugs and floor protectors for the furniture and appliances that come in contact with the wood.
• Avoid using water to clean wooden floors. Any water-based cleanser could trigger the wood to rot easily.
• Apply wax as often as you can in areas that are constantly in use, such as the staircase, hallway, living room and kitchen.
• Always trim the toenails of your pets, to avoid any scratches on the wood.

Marble
Marble is not only considered a symbol of prosperity but also one of inherent beauty. It adds class to any home and is also easy to clean and maintain, because you don't have to worry about it being damp and wet. Follow these easy tips to keep your marble floor new and shiny for a long time:

• Use hydrogen peroxide to return marble to its original colour that may have been lost due to discolouration.
• Clean the floor regularly with a cotton string mop and water to keep it free from dirt and grime. However, take care to dry up the water quickly.
• Remove rust stains from the floor using lemon juice and salt. But do not leave the mixture on for too long.
• Polish your floor every now and then to maintain the lustre.

Stone
Granite is one of the most beautiful and durable stones for flooring. It is easy to clean and maintain. As a result it is widely used in homes. These tried-and-tested tips will keep your floor shining:

• To keep the floor clean, sweep and mop it with warm water everyday. However, make sure to wash it with soap once a week, followed by rinsing with warm water so that the floor remains sealed and shining.
• If you spill something on the floor, clean it right away. However, always blot, never wipe the spill.

Tile
Ceramic tile floors can add cheer and character to your home and the best thing is that it is quite easy to maintain as compared to other floorings. Here are few, simple, yet effective measures, to keep your flooring as stunning as ever:

• Try and keep a separate pair of footwear to be worn inside your home, so as to prevent the tiles from getting scratched.
• To avoid that dull residue on the floor after cleaning, mop with warm water and don't forget to dry the floor soon after.
• Keep a scraper handy to gently remove crayon marks, grease smudges, food droppings or other spills that may occur. However, you should always be careful to avoid scratching the surface.
• To prevent dirt from accumulating, place rugs and mats in hallways and doorways. The mat will catch the dust and grime from the shoes and help in keeping the floor clean.
• Make sure you always use a tile cleaner suitable for the type of tiles you have and the kind of sealant needed to fix those particular tiles.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October at Mazumdar Shaw Cancer Center

October is Breast Cancer awareness month and Mazumdar Shaw Cancer Center is conducting a 15 day long screening camp on its Health city campus from 25th October till 7th November in an effort to spread awareness among rural women.

No matter where you go, whenever you see a pink ribbon you automatically know what it stands for. The pink ribbon is widely found on a variety of merchandise and apparel and people automatically associate it with breast cancer without having to think about it. Today it not only shows support for the cause, but the pink breast cancer awareness ribbon stands for the sisterhood that helps women survive and conquer the disease. Mazumdar Shaw Cancer Center is conducting a 15 day long screening camp on its Health city campus from 25th October till 7th November. It is an effort to spread awareness about Breast Cancer among women in India.

The incidence in India in the major cities is 26 per lakh population but in the rural areas it is around 8 per lakh population. Prognosis and survival varies greatly depending on cancer type and the stage of the disease. Computerized models are available to predict survival with best treatment. Depending on the staging the 10-year disease-free survival varies from 98% in early stages to less than 10%.in the advanced stage. Treatment includes surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy including hormone therapy. In India breast cancer comprises 26% of all cancers among women, making it the most common cancer in women.

One in twenty two Indian women would get breast cancer. Some of these cancers are sensitive to hormones like estrogen which makes it possible to treat them by blocking the effects of this hormone in the target tissues. These have better prognosis and require less Aggressive treatment than hormone negative cancers. Radiation is usually given to the surgical bed to control cancer cells that were missed by the surgery, which usually extends survival rate and reduces local recurrence.

Screening for Indian women
Breast cancer screening is meant for healthy women to achieve an earlier diagnosis. Early detection will improve outcomes and reduce cost of treatment. A number of screening tests have been employed including:
1. Self breast Examination
2. Clinical Breast examination
3. Mammography
4. Genetic screening
5. Ultrasound and
6. MRI

A clinical or self examination involves feeling the breast for a lump or other abnormalities. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends mammography every two years in women between the ages of 50 and 74. In India women get cancer a decade earlier and so they recommend that a woman gets a mammogram starting from the age of 40 and then every 2 years.

In women at high risk, such as those with a strong family history of cancer, mammography screening is recommended at an earlier age and additional testing may include genetic screening and an MRI SCAN yearly from age of 25. Since young women have dense breasts a mammogram may not be that helpful and so we recommend an ultrasound of the breast every year for Indian women from the age of 40

Holistic approach:
The treatment of breast cancer requires a dedicated team involving Oncoplastic breast surgeons, medical oncologist, radiation therapist, plastic surgeons, etc. The outcome/results of such an approach are far superior compared to the single specialty or consultant approach. Prevention and early detection should be the priority and the October month is dedicated to screening as many cases as possible.

Risk factors
The important risk factors that have been identified are sex age, lack of childbearing or breastfeeding, higher hormone levels, race and economic status.
Women can reduce their risk by maintaining a healthy weight, drinking less alcohol, being physically active and breastfeeding their children. It is said that 38% of breast cancer cases are preventable through reducing alcohol intake, increasing physical activity levels and maintaining a healthy weight. 

Only 5% of breast cancerous are attributed to Heredity and close to 50% were attributed to known risk factors. In more recent years, research has emphasized the impact of risk factors such as a high-fat diet, alcohol intake, obesity, environmental factors, tobacco use, and radiation. In addition to the risk factors specified above, demographic and medical risk factors include:

Past history of breast cancer: A woman who had breast cancer in one breast has an increased risk of getting cancer in her other breast.

Family history: A woman's risk of breast cancer is higher if her mother, sister, or daughter had breast cancer. The risk is higher if her family member got breast cancer before age 40. 

There was a study of 72,000 women conducted by the National cancer institute found that those who had a normal body mass index at age 20 and gained weight as they aged had nearly double the risk of developing breast cancer after menopause in comparison to women maintained their weight.

Blame your Genes for your sleep cycle: Study

Wondered how some stay perky all day with just a few hours of sleep, while others remain cranky all day? The reason, scientists have found, could be due to a ‘sleepiness' gene.

Some of us wake up refreshed and ready to bounce out of bed — no matter how little sleep we've had. Others, on the other hand, just want to turn over to go back to sleep, even after getting ten hours of shut-eye. Scientists believe it's all in the genes. Scientists claim to have found a “sleepiness” gene that affects whether people rise refreshed and ready to attack the day — or would rather turn over and go back to sleep, reported a leading News Daily. 

According to them, people with the “sleepiness” gene feel more tired than others, even after getting a good 10 hours of shut-eye two nights in a row; they also take lack of sleep harder than others. The scientists focused on 37 volunteers who had a genetic flaw linked to narcolepsy, a sleep disorder in which sufferers fall asleep without warning. Despite having the gene, the men and women did not suffer from narcolepsy and were classed as healthy sleepers.

For the first two nights of the study, they were allowed to sleep for up to 10 hours. For the next five, they were only allowed four hours in bed. Another 92 adults without the genetic flaw followed the same routine. Those with the flawed gene were sleepier and more fatigued no matter how much or how little sleep they had. They also woke up more during the night and spent less time in restorative deep sleep.

“This gene may be a biological signal for predicting how people will respond to sleep deprivation, which has significant health consequences and affects millions of people around the world. It may be particularly important to those who work on the night shift, travel frequently through multiple time zones or just lose sleep due to their work and family obligations. More research and replication of our findings are needed, the researchers said.

7 Reasons to Start Your Christmas Shopping Now

As usual, most of us start buying Christmas gifts at the last moment. Even shop-windows, dressed up for the November holidays do not convince us to start holiday shopping at least a little bit earlier. But what if you change your rules this year? Here are at least seven reasons for this.

No budget hit

If you split your holiday shopping across a few weeks, your wallet won’t feel the pinch. After all, if you’ll spend $30-$40 on small gifts for each week, you will agree that psychologically it is much easier than spending $300 – $500 straight away in the New Year week, and really strain the family or personal budget.

More variety of Christmas gifts

Now in stores you can have access to much more choice than in the days before the New Year rush. Remember what are usually left on the shelves on Christmas Eve.

More time to think about gifts

Yes, now you can weigh everything, plan, and not run to buy a banal box of chocolates and champagne for colleagues.

No stress

Take care of your nerves! You have to plan a holiday party, choose a New Year’s outfit, and holiday scenario. Why else would you burden yourself with unnecessary stress, which inevitably occurs because of fear of missing or forgetting something?

Saving money on gifts

Now, many things that we traditionally buy as gifts such as champagne, cards, and blankets-gloves-hats are cheap! Save not only time but also money!

Time to find the right thing

Even if you are looking for a very rare or collector’s item, you can find it. You won’t’ worry if you start searching now.

You will be able to please everyone with gifts

Each of your friends and loved ones deserve an individual approach. By starting now to think about what to give them, there is a chance to please everyone and make this New Year the most memorable for them.

Rebecca Battino Sues Apple because of Extreme Cam Girls app!

Oh and another one sues Apple! Question is, will this entity face the dust as well? And nope, this is not about a company we’re talking about here, but rather a girl, and to be more specific she’s a 19 year old model. The case of the suit? An adult rogue app on Apple manages to use her provocative photos without her permission and this girl demands a $1 million dollar fine on Apple and Samba Studios (makers of the Extreme Cam Girls App).

Rebecca Battino (name of the accuser) claims that someone have wiped all her sexy, steamy photos from her computer and distribute it on the web without her knowledge and thus using it to attract visitors, in this case against the Extreme Cam Girl Application.

If this person is really serious on filing a suit against Apple and to the developers then she should also be doing it first on the person who swiped the files on her computer and manage to publicized it on the web. As you are all may aware off, it’s so friggin’ easy to find any provocative photos on the net, just try images. google.com (even with the search filter turn to ‘on’) and you can see tons of women whereas getting it easy without any external source. For the folks from Samba, their best defense for this one is they just got it from a rogue 3rd party publisher and there was no link sourcing the original post.

So far, Apple nor the developers of Extreme Girl App has not yet disclosed their statement of any comments

Skin Care Tips How to Ditch Blackheads for Good

We know that blackheads are not something you want on your face -- ever. The word alone is not a pretty one.

black·head noun (blak-hed)

Blackheads are basically the same as whiteheads, except for blackheads have an oxidized fatty deposit. And when fatty deposits are oxidized, they turn dark. So they're called blackheads. When they're not oxidized, they're called whiteheads. Blackheads differ from other pimples because they are open, and not enclosed by a layer of skin like most spots or pimples.

Follow these steps to clear and prevent blackheads:

Step 1: Cleanse
Properly cleanse the skin, preferably with a salicylic acid-based cleanser, which will help treat and prevent blackheads, says Bratschi. This will both act as an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory.

Step 2: Tone

Use an alcohol-free product that contains Totarol (from the Totara tree which again is antimicrobial and antibacterial). This closes pores and puts back the acid mantle (basically it restores the pH of your skin).

Step 3: Spot treat problem areas

A serum containing Nyacinamide (Vitamin B3) and Papain (papaya enzyme) will be most effective at treating blackheads. The Nyacinamide helps acne-affected skin and decreases oiliness, which is a component of blackheads. Papain is an exfoliant, which will help remove dead skin cells that clog pores.

Step 4: Moisturize

Use an oil-free moisturizer, preferably including Hyaluronic acid to deeply hydrate the skin, and always use an SPF during the day, especially since you'll be exfoliating your skin often as part of this process.

Step 5: Scrub

Two times a week, use a gentle grainy scrub. Manual exfoliation is the key to preventing blackheads.

Step 6: Do a mask

Twice a week, do a Kaolin-based mask, which will draw out congestion that creates blackheads, absorb oils and close pores

If you follow the steps and still don't see results …

Don't pick! Instead make your way to your nearest esthetician. Often people use too much pressure or just push more dirt in to [pores], further inflaming them, not to mention cross contaminating other areas of the skin. It can also lead to scarring, hyperpigmentation and broken capillaries -- all of which are difficult to later fix. If you squeeze a blackhead and it turns into a giant scar, it can cost you thousands of bucks to fix it. So it's much better getting someone for 30 bucks to clean up all the blackheads and call it a day.

Blackhead removal is best treated by a professional where the skin is prepped correctly, extracted correctly and importantly, treated afterwards to both stop inflammation and prevent them [from] re-occurring. Plus, professional grade products are stronger, more active and therefore more effective, and steam can be a vital tool in opening up those pores for deep extraction of those hard to shift blackheads.

Love Dies in Marriage After 10 Years and 11 Months

True love lasts forever, researchers were saying a while back. Now, a new study comes to prove that, in married life, love tends to go stale after precisely 10 years and 11 months. 

Though the study would seem to deny the existence of the so-called “7-year itch,” it also brings some bad news to those couples who believe they can see their future in statistics.

About 3,000 married couples took part in the new poll cited by the Daily Mail and the conclusion is that, after about 11 years of married life, things tend to go downhill for the partners.

Of course, the reasons why this happens are obvious: routine, too much time spent together and, last but not least, taking each other for granted.

“A quarter of those questioned said their marriage has lost its sparkle because they no longer bother going out together or make romantic gestures,” the Mail says of the findings.

A fifth of all couples taking part in the survey complained about their love life, saying they’d reached a point where they no longer found their partner attractive or appealing enough.

“And 12 per cent could not remember the last time their partner paid them any sort of compliment,” says the Mail.

Six in ten of all married couples said they often felt the need to be reminded in one way or another why they had tied the knot in the first place, because routine had gotten the best of them.

“It takes a special someone to step back from everyday life and realize it takes a bit of effort to keep the romance alive,” a spokesperson for the dating website that commissioned the survey says for the Mail.

The same spokesperson underlines that one of the biggest problem married couples often stumble upon is a stale love life. “This is one area which falls by the wayside after several years of marriage,” the rep says.

Dark secrets of celebrities

It turns out that even celebrities, famous actors and world known rich and famous people have dark secrets from the past too. Have a look at some of the spooky skeletons hiding deep down in their closets. Most of the secrets are about their parents, jobs they did and strange love history.

Lucy Liu : As a child she worked in a factory.

Oprah Winfrey : She had a baby at the age of 14

 Angelina Jolie : The former lover of the actress became a godmother of her twins.
Two actresses Jenny Shimizu and Angelina Jolie are more then just friends. They are also ex lovers and they say they still have a strong emotional bond connecting them. This bond is so strong that Angelina even asked Jenny to become a godmother to her twins.

Charlize Theron

Her mother killed her father in front of her.

For many years, Charlize just mentioned in her interviews that “her father was killed in a car accident when she was 15 years” and changed the subject. The truth about a drunken abusive father-tyrant of the Oscar-winning actress and her childhood that she spent in Johannesburg, soon came out. The main reason why Charlize was trying to forget about those times was because of a large family quarrel, during which her mother, while trying to protect herself and her daughter, shot and killed her father.

Parents of the actress bred ostriches. “On the farm my father often got drunk and came home not only with his fists, but with the rifle, and threatened us with it. One day, he really pulled the trigger, but the mother at the last moment was able to take the rifle from him and protect herself and me…”

Leighton Meester and Boris Moiseev

Both of them were born in the prison.
Who would have thought that the stars of the show “Gossip Girl” Leighton Meester and Boris Moiseyev has something in common! They were both born in prison. Mom Layton was sentenced to 10 years in prison for drug smuggling, and mother of Boris was a political prisoner.

Lera Kudryavtseva : Her second husband sat in jail for rape and robbery.

3 Reasons Not to Wash Hair

Surely, nobody likes to walk around with greasy hair. Don’t worry, we are not urging you to do so. But, did you know that there are situations when it is not recommended to wash hair?

You should not wash hair after getting a perm

You should wait at least 24 hours before washing your hair after getting a perm. Some hair professionals recommend to wait 72 hours. In fact, the effect of the chemical components can be neutralized, which can lead to messy hair with uneven level of curling. Moreover, you should use special shampoos, which are specially formulated for permed hair. Those shampoos are much softer than the regular shampoo.

Do not wash hair right before your hairdresser appointment

Any hair professional will start the session by washing the client’s hair. Surely, it may be a little embarrassing to come with very greasy or dirty hair to your hairdresser appointment. However, it would be much worse to wash your hair too frequently. So, you need to overcome your fears and have your hair just as it is, the specialist will understand.

Why is it forbidden to wash hair after a Botox injection?

Botox procedures are becoming increasingly popular those days. Doctors typically warn their patients to avoid any type of face massage (including the areas around it) and instruct them not to sleep on their faces. Hair washing is a procedure that involves the scalp and the face. So you should avoid washing your hair right after a Botox injection. For how long? In order to avoid any unpleasant side-effects, such as bruising, you should wait at least six hours.

How your blood group affects your chances of a baby

More women than ever are now undergoing IVF treatment — the number has risen more than ­tenfold since the early Nineties.

It’s a statistic which is often blamed on the growing trend for postponing ­motherhood until later in life.

But now it seems a woman’s chances of conceiving in her 30s or 40s may not be decided by age alone — her blood type could also affect her fertility, a­ccording to research published

In particular, women with blood type O — the most common type — had a lower egg count and poorer egg quality in their 30s than those with blood type A, say researchers at the Albert Einstein ­College of Medicine in New York.

But how significant are the findings and what are the implications for women planning to start a family in their 30s or later?

Why do we have different blood types?

There are four main blood groups — A, B, O, AB — and several subgroups for each (O, for instance, can be RhD ­positive or negative) and the one you have depends on your genetic make-up.

If both your parents were type O, then you will be O; however, after that there are no hard and fast rules. For example, both your parents could be type A, but you could still end up with type O.

Around 44 per cent of people in Britain have blood group O. Type A accounts for 42 per cent and the balance is made up of less common blood types, including type B and type AB.

The ­difference between the blood types is determined by the kind of ­proteins found on the surface of red blood cells — if you have A type ­proteins, you are classed as group A.

How is fertility linked to blood?

A woman’s blood group appears to influence the amount of a ­hormone called follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) that she produces. A follicle is a small round cavity — the egg grows in the middle of this.

During ovulation, follicles ­containing maturing eggs push towards the surface of the ovary. There, the ­follicle opens up to allow the egg to drift out. This hormone is released by the pituitary gland, a pea-sized gland in the brain.

Although it plays a vital role in pregnancy — stimulating the ­follicles so they release the eggs — studies show very high levels are a sign of infertility. In particular, they are the sign of something called a low ovarian reserve.

The ovarian reserve is a measure of how many eggs a woman is thought to have left at any one time. It can vary from one woman to another and can be depleted by smoking, ovarian cysts and ­endometriosis, a painful ­condition affecting around two million women in Britain where the cells in the­ ­lining of the womb break down.

Endhiran stolen from my novel: Tamil novelist

A Tamil novelist who works with Tamil magazine ‘Nakeeran’ on Monday met city police commissioner T Rajendran and lodged a complaint against the director and producer of Rajinikanth-starred ‘Endhiran’ , saying that they had stolen the story idea from his novel ‘Jugiba’ , which he had written and published in a magazine in 1996.

Aarur Tamil Nadan alias Amutha Tamil Nadan, who is a deputy news editor with ‘Nakeeran’ , came to the police commissioner’s office with his advocates G Edwig and L Sivakumar and submitted the petition. “I had written a small novel ‘Jugiba’ in a magazine called ‘Iniya Udhayam’ , in 1996. My novel was repeated in ‘Dhik Dhik Dheepika’ magazine in 2007 with my permission . Director Shankar and producer Kalanithi Maran stole the raw story from my novel and added ingredients to the movie like songs, fights and graphics. Many of my friends and relatives informed me about the movie.I have sent a legal notice to director Shankar and producer Kalanithi Maran. As I did not get any response from them, I have now approached the city police commissioner,” the complainant told reporters.

“I have been in the literary field since my school days. CM M Karunanidhi and minister K Anbazhagan had endorsed my first book of poems in 1983. Later, I participated in many literary shows with Vairamuthu , Mu Metha and Abdul Rahman (Tamil poets). I was awarded the title ‘Kavimaamani’ ,” Tamil Nadan told

Windows 8 Due in 2012: Microsoft

A word about the next major operating system slipped out right from the horse's, err, Microsoft's mouth. On the Microsoft Dutch site, the software giant had posted that the next Windows operating system will be released two years from now. Tom Warren of WinRumors was the one who spotted this on Microsoft's Dutch news site.

Earlier in June, we had reported about Windows 8 roadmap pointing at the release of this next "major release" imminent in 2012. However, this time, the update comes from Microsoft  itself. Unfortunately, Microsoft has pulled down the news from its Dutch News site. This message was put up for the celebration of Windows 7's first anniversary.


Microsoft had already termed Windows 8 as a major release and said it plans to come up with Windows app store just like we have Mac App Store now. Apple had recently showed a sneak peek into its next major operating system release - Mac OS X Lion. A number of 'major' features are impressive but I'd like to point out that full screen apps is an interesting one.

As of now, Microsoft wants to be tight lipped till Windows 7 gets completely adopted by consumers. In terms of time frame, if Windows 8 is released by mid 2012, it would come about three years after the release of Windows 7. But before that, Microsoft will certainly release Service Pack 1 and Service Pack 2 for Windows 7. What groundbreaking features would you like to see in Windows 8?

This can release chemical compounds into a persons system that will trigger an extreme reaction towards the circumstance. An stress and anxiety panic invasion can occur when chemical compounds are triggered. The physique assumes there is danger that it must react to, this is known as a worry assault. An anxiety panic assault can have many of these key factors. Feelings of fear, hopelessness, increased heart rate, sweating, tingling, nausea, headaches, and emotional fluctuations.

How to Stop Your Dog From Whining

Having a dog that barks and whines incessantly can put strain on even the most loving relationship between a dog and her owner not to mention the complaints and problems that can arise from your neighbors. Now, some barking will happen even with the best behaved dog, but those who have lived with a dog that barks in excess have a few tips on what to do.

1. Listen to the different “voices” of your dog. Your dog is not whining or barking for no reason. Has he spotted another animal? Did someone enter your backyard and your dog is defending his territory? Maybe he needs food or water?

2. is your dog whining rather than barking? Whining is a sign that your dog is in distress and you need to check that your dog is OK.

3. Dogs whine when they are feeling lonely. Dogs are very social animals, in their natural settings they live together in packs. If you have been gone all day your dog may be whining out of loneliness. Set aside the first 10 minutes when you get home from work to play and socialize with your dog and you will stop the whining in it’s track. It is also a stress relief for you to interact and love your dog after a stressful day at work.

4. having your dog locked out in the back yard is a surefire way to make him whine, and to make your neighbors hate you. Your dog wants to be with you and misses your companionship which is had inside the house. Your dog may be whining until you take him in whether that happens within the next 10 minutes or 10 hours. For the sake of your dog and your neighbors, leave your dog inside the house when you are away.

Should you discipline a dog that is whining? No, whining is always a sign of distress and punishing a dog that is stressed can make the behavior even worse. Hitting your dog or putting him outside as punishment is the wrong course of action.

Aspirin in Low Doses Prevent Colon Cancer Risk

Low doses of aspirin, taken daily and over the long term, cut cases of colorectal cancer by a quarter and the death toll from this disease by a third, according to a study published online on Friday by The Lancet.

Aspirin is already recommended in low, daily doses by many doctors for patients at risk of a heart attack or a stroke.High doses of this cheap, over-the-counter medication have similarly been found to help prevent cancer of the rectum and colon.

But, studies have also found, the benefits may well be outweighed by the risks, such as increased bleeding from high aspirin use.Eager to verify whether low doses can also be protective, researchers followed up four trials in Britain and Sweden, conducted in the 1980s or early 1990s, on the cardiovascular impacts of aspirin. The study entailed looking over centralised data banks to see whether volunteers in these trials had since died or been diagnosed with colorectal cancer.

On average, the trials lasted six years, entailing volunteers who took either aspirin or a dummy lookalike pill called a placebo. The doses ranged up to 1,200 mg. Out of 14,033 patients whose health could be traced 18 years or so since the trial, 391 hadcolorectal cancer, the investigators found.

Chemical based purifiers not all that safe

Gulping down ‘purified’ water may not be all that safe for your health.

A study has found that most chemical based water purifiers in India do not comply with the required safety standards. The study, commissioned by Healthy You Foundation, looked at the health and safety issues concerning storage water purifiers.

“Tall claims are made by the manufacturers on the purity and safety of the drinking water dispensed by their products,” Bejon Misra from the foundation said.

The consumers take such claims - especially by the branded products - at face value. But there is no mechanism to verify such claims or to ensure that the manufacturers adhere to safety regulations.

The NGO analyzed all major brands of water purifiers being sold in India.

It found that literature given to consumers at the time of sale does not carry all the relevant information related to health and safety aspects. “Consumers are not told about the chemicals used in the purifier and how the level of these chemicals can be monitored,” Misra, who led the study, said.

“In one of the products that uses an iodine based resin for purifying water, it is not known whether the resin is approved by the US Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA),” he said.

Another water purifier is marketed with a claim that it meets the stringent norms set by the EPA. “But the chemical used in the purifier - trichloroisocyanuric acid or TCCA - actually contravenes the EPA regulations,” Misra said.

“TCCA is used worldwide to sanitize swimming pools. It has not been approved by the EPA for long- term usage as a drinking water disinfectant in a householdwater purifier,” he said.

According to him, TCCA decomposes in water to release free chlorine and cyanuric acid which, when combined with a chemical called melamine released from common household utensils and cutlery, can form substances that increase the risk of kidney failure.

Another product, which does not use chemicals, claims to produce 100 per cent pure water. “The claim is wrong as the purifier removes only bacteria and not virus,” the study says.

While ultraviolet (UV) and reverse osmosis (RO) are the safest technologies used in domestic water purification, these are high- end products consuming electricity.
