<\/span><\/h3>\nA survival water filter must be able to remove a variety of elements in order to ensure the cleanest, safest drinking water available. These elements include bacteria, protozoa, heavy metals such as lead, parasites and microplastics. Bacteria and protozoa, such as E. coli, Giardia and Cryptosporidium, are incredibly hazardous for human consumption, often leading to serious health issues like diarrhea and dysentery if ingested. Heavy metals such as lead can be extremely toxic if ingested in large quantities and should always be avoided when possible. Similarly, parasites such as Giardia can also cause serious health problems including abdominal cramps and vomiting if consumed in contaminated water. Finally, microplastics are a relatively new addition to the list of pollutants that a filter must remove; these tiny pieces of plastic can be extremely harmful to human consumption, so they should be removed at all costs.
