Water supply rate throughout Korea reached 98.5 % (2013, the Ministry of Environment) leads to the main level of the OECD countries. To supply clean and safe drinking water, K-water has been raising drinking water standards for tap water since 2001, and has monitored 250 different contaminants, which is more stringent than in developed countries (151 items recommended by the World Health Organization; WHO). But drinking rate of tap water is less than 5% in Korea. In this study, we performed experiment to verify health effects of the drinking tap water and investigated correlations between human health and tap water as a way to improve tap water drinking rate. |
