Is drinking rain water bad for you?!


Question: Is drinking rain water bad for you!?
Just curious!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Look at your local pollution levels!.

I grew up in a rural area of Australia where our drinking water was pure rain water, caught in tanks, no treatment necessary!.

Now I live in a major metropolitan city, and I wouldn't necessarily drink the rain water that fell near industrial areas, but our pollution levels are still pretty low!.

Unless you live in highly polluted areas, like the built-up parts of China, the water should not be contaminated, and absolutely drinkable!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

well it all depends where you live and how much you drink!

if your in a city / heavily populated area the waste gasses released by cars and stuff will be present to an extent in the rain!. a little bit wont harm you but lots could end up in poisoning!

if your out in the country / area with relatively small population the rain should be purer!. but if the rain cloud spent time above a city there is a chance that there is gasses in the rain!

there will always be small amounts of waste gasses in the rain as it's present in the atmosphere but it's more or less totally safe!Www@Answer-Health@Com

in cities of more than 200,000 the pollution is fairly bad and the pH of the rain will be relatively high!. this isn't dangerous but not healthy either!. total choice!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
