Mondsee (euro adhoc) - BWT, market leader in water technology in
Europe, is presenting the world´s first arsenic-TableDrinkWaterFilter
on the World Water Congress. The filter cartridge has a capacity of
100 liters drinking water at arsenic rates of 100 microgram arsenic
per liter.

High concentrations of arsenic can be found in ground waters as a
result of geochemical processes. Roughly 140 million people in around
70 countries are estimated to be endangered by arsenic loaded water.
In the body, arsenic leads to higher rates of some cancers, including
tumors of the lung, bladder and skin, and other lung conditions,
becoming visible only after years or decades. Limits on arsenic were
reduced by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) effective 2006 from 50 to 10
micrograms per liter.

"BWT has a reputation of a pioneer in water technology and we are
pleased to live up to that once again. The World Water Congress gives
us the opportunity to present our innovations to a global audience.
However, we only will be satisfied once all affected people have
access to proper drinking water", says Andreas Weissenbacher, CEO of
the BWT Group.

The World Water Congress and Exhibition of the International Water
Association takes place from September 7th to September 11th in
Vienna. With more than 3,000 delegates, the Congress represents one
of the most important international events in this year in the water
industry. Apart from the scientific presentations, workshops and
meetings during the Industry Forum, BWT will be present on booth 209
giving insights into its vast capabilities in water treatment.
