Waiakea Hawaiian Volcanic Water

Description

Waiakea is a premium bottled water sourced from volcanic Hawaiian aquifers. It is rich in minerals and electrolytes, promoting hydration and wellness. While it offers health benefits such as improved hydration and mineral intake, concerns include the environmental impact of plastic bottles and potential contamination from storage.

Contaminants

• Sulfate

  2.64 mg/L

  Can cause diarrhea, especially in infants and unaccustomed individuals, pose risks to susceptible populations, and are subject to ongoing regulatory evaluation due to potential health effects.

• Arsenic

  0.000054 mg/L

  Carcinogenic, neurotoxic, increased risk of cardiovascular disease, skin lesions, reproductive toxicity, increased risk of diabetes, developmental effects

• Barium

  0.00046 mg/L

  Can lead to increased blood pressure, heart and nervous system problems, and long-term exposure may cause severe health effects like kidney damage and impacts on other organs.

• Fluoride

  0.004 mg/L

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

• Nitrate

  0.24 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 .​

• Nitrite

  0.006 mg/L

  Harmful, especially to infants and pregnant women, as it interferes with blood's ability to carry oxygen, potentially leading to a condition known as methemoglobinemia or "blue baby syndrome".

• Antimony

  0.000139 mg/L

  Respiratory irritation, skin problems, and more severe effects such as cardiovascular and lung diseases.

• Vanadium

  0.0125 mg/L

  The main source for potentially toxic effects caused by vanadium is exposure to high loads of vanadium oxides in the breathing air of vanadium processing industrial enterprises. Vanadium can enter the body via the lungs or, more commonly, the stomach. Most of the dietary vanadium is excreted.

• Chromium

  0.0012 mg/L

  Potential toxicity at high doses, possible kidney or liver damage with excessive supplementation, limited evidence for benefits in healthy individuals

• Gross Beta

  1.22 pCi/L

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

• Gross Alpha

  0.219 pCi/L

  Internal tissue damage and increased cancer risk due to their ionizing nature when ingested or inhaled.

• Radium 226/228

  0.55 pCi/L

  Increased cancer risk, especially bone cancer, due to its radioactivity when ingested.
