Description

Gelson's Spring Water is a natural mineral water sourced from pristine springs. It provides hydration and essential minerals but can pose risks if not properly sourced or stored, potentially containing contaminants or leading to dehydration if consumed in excess.

Contaminants

  • Gross Beta

    1.09 pCi/L

    Internal tissue damage, increased cancer risk, and potential harm to the thyroid.

  • Fluoride

    0.22 mg/L

    Can cause dental and skeletal fluorosis, affecting teeth and bone health, and may potentially impact cognitive development in children.

  • Nitrate

    0.22 mg/L

    High levels of nitrate in drinking water can cause methemoglobinemia, or "blue baby syndrome," in infants, a condition that reduces the blood's ability to carry oxygen . Long-term exposure to elevated nitrate levels has been associated with an increased risk of certain cancers, thyroid dysfunction, and potential reproductive issues .​

  • Radium 228

    0.104 pCi / L

    Can cause significant damage to internal tissues and increases the risk of bone cancer, as radium can replace calcium in bones.

  • Radium 226

    0.594 pCi / L

    Harmful when ingested or inhaled, leading to internal tissue damage and increased cancer risks, particularly if accumulated in the body.
