Water is highly abundant and in fact makes up the larger proportion
of our planet. However unfortunately much of this water is unsafe to drink when
discovered naturally, and even when it comes from the taps in the Western world
it can still be a good idea to purify it in order to remove minerals, particles
of dust and dirt, bacteria, protozoa and fluoride. It is possible to filter
many of the impurities in water using any filtration method such as a charcoal
filter, however to remove fluoride as well it will be necessary to use an
aluminium oxide filter.
