“…According to studies, microbial contamination was observed in the water output from these devices. 30 In the study by Abolli et al, home water purifiers did not affect the microbial load; however, they caused changes in the values of some chemical parameters. 36 Jalali and colleagues' study observed that microbial growth was observed in the outgoing water with the disappearance of residual chlorine.…”

“…However, the abundance of Proteus bacteria and gram-positive bacilli in the effluent water isolates had increased. 30 Also, the results of the study by Alipour et al in Bandar Abbas city showed that the efficiency of the devices in reducing turbidity, hardness, alkalinity, sodium, potassium, and chlorine were 45.9%, 39%, 22.3%, 30.6%, 34.9% and 53%respectively. In addition, regarding TDS and EC, it was 37.5% and 59%, respectively.…”

Access to clean water is one of the primary and essential needs of humans in terms of its physical, chemical, and biological properties. Every year, many people die from water-borne diseases. Household water treatment devices play a significant role on supplying water needed by different countries. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of these household water purification devices on the physical, chemical, and microbiological quality of water in different cities of Iran. This review has used different databases in Iran and Iranian studies in other international databases. Studies that did not investigate the characteristics of water were excluded, and the studies passed the quality criteria of this review as well as its data were analyzed. The studies showed that the average concentration of water parameters such as total hardness, alkalinity, dissolved oxygen, sulfate, and nitrate in the output water of these devices had decreased. Also, residual chlorine in the outlet water of all samples was lower than the standard value. To use household water purification devices, in addition to considering the benefits of using these devices, we should also pay attention to the reduction of physicochemical and microbiological quality of water.

“…45 Other C-F agents used traditionally by native peoples include seed extracts from the nirmali plant in southern India, moringa plants in Sudan, crushed almonds, dried and crushed beans, and rauwaq (a form of bentonite clay). 46 Adsorbents such as charcoal, clay, and other types of organic matter have been used for water treatment since biblical times. 32 These substances are used as the filter media and also can act as coagulants.…”

To provide guidance to clinicians, the Wilderness Medical Society convened experts to develop evidencebased guidelines for water disinfection in situations where the potability of available water is not ensured, including wilderness and international travel, areas affected by disaster, and other areas without adequate sanitation. The guidelines present the available methods for reducing or eliminating microbiologic contamination of water for individuals, groups, or households; evaluation of their effectiveness; and practical considerations. The evidence evaluation includes both laboratory and clinical publications. The panel graded the recommendations based on the quality of supporting evidence and the balance between benefits and risks or burdens, according to the criteria published by the American College of Chest Physicians.
