borehole owners in Accra believe their untreated water is safe.

The science says otherwise. What you can't see can hurt your family.

People think that if water looks and tastes clean, that means it's safe to drink.

It's not.

The Boiling Myth

Boiling doesn't make it safe.
It makes it worse.

Heat kills germs. That's where the usefulness ends. Everything else — the metals, the nitrates, the toxins — gets more concentrated with every minute on the stove.

Arsenic · Lead · Mercury

Heavy metals concentrate.

Boiling evaporates water. The arsenic and lead stay behind. Every minute on the stove makes the chemical load more dangerous, not less.

Endotoxins survive heat

Bacteria die. Their toxins don’t.

Heat kills E. coli — but the toxins they release when they die survive boiling. Those toxins cause the same silent gut damage that stunts children's growth.

Blue-baby syndrome

Nitrates become lethal.

For infants, concentrated nitrates in formula block the blood from carrying oxygen. A mother who boils borehole water to make it safer can kill her baby within days.

A mother who boils borehole water before mixing her baby's formula is doing what she believes is the safe thing. She's making the water more dangerous with every minute it boils.
