Tackling Water Hardness: Understanding the Issue for Sustainable Development
Abstract: Hard water poses a serious threat to human health and industrial operations. The pervasiveness of water hardness, characterized by elevated concentrations of calcium and magnesium ions, originates from seepage and runoff from soils, as well as polyvalent metallic ions from sedimentary rocks. These minerals, while essential in moderate amounts, can become problematic when consumed in excess. Epidemiological studies have established correlations between excessive consumption of calcium and magnesium and increased …
