Water is an essential part of our everyday lives, not only at home but also in the workplace. Ensuring access to clean and healthy water at work is critical for the well-being of employees and the environment. While many may think sustainability starts at home, the workplace must also align its values with environmental responsibility. From waste management and energy consumption to resource usage, the workplace can have a significant impact on our planet.

Water is not only essential for life but also plays a crucial role in maintaining health and enhancing quality of life. As the demand for clean, safe water continues to rise, the question "Tap water or filtered water: which is the better option?" has become increasingly relevant. Let’s explore the key differences between these two types of water in Vietnam and why filtered water is the smarter choice for your health.

High-Quality Drinking Water – The Golden Key to Health and Exceptional Performance

In today’s fast-paced world, we are all constantly racing against time to complete tasks, take care of our families, and enjoy life. But did you know that something as simple as drinking the right amount of water can significantly enhance your overall quality of life?

Water is a fundamental component of life, making up over 60% of the human body. Yet, not everyone realizes the importance of choosing and consuming high-quality drinking water.

Recently, at Bach Mai Hospital in Hanoi, a series of patients have been admitted in critical condition due to poisoning, difficulty breathing, and even comas after believing in rumors about "alkaline water" – a type of water claimed to have the ability to cure all diseases. Many people have disregarded medical treatment, following the advice of local healers and word of mouth about the miraculous benefits of alkaline water, which has led to serious health consequences.

Rural areas in northern Vietnam are grappling with escalating environmental issues, particularly air, water, and soil pollution, as a result of activities in craft villages, industrial zones, and agriculture. 

The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment's 2023 National Environmental Status Report on Rural Environments, released on Wednesday, assessed the air quality in these rural regions, home to over 61 million people, and found it generally good. However, it also identified specific hotspots of pollution.

Is your water leaving stains on taps, showerheads, dishes, or kettles? If so, you may be dealing with hard water. Hard water contains a high concentration of salts, including calcium ions, which can cause limescale buildup wherever water flows. Over time, this buildup can lead to a range of problems, including blocked valves, scale deposits on fixtures, and the need for frequent repairs on calcified appliances. Hard water can also reduce water pressure by narrowing pipe diameters. Beyond the damage to your home, it can harm your skin and wear out your laundry.

In every modern home, household appliances like washing machines, dishwashers, and boilers are essential companions, making life more convenient and efficient. However, the quality of water you use daily can significantly impact their longevity and performance. Hard water, with its high mineral content, doesn’t only reduce the efficiency of your appliances but also leads to the buildup of scale, causing damage over time.

In the Modern Hustle, Wellness Begins with the Purity of Water

In today’s fast-paced and often demanding lifestyle, moments of relaxation and self-care have become invaluable for preserving both health and beauty.

Mineral water from several European countries has been found to be contaminated with TFA, a harmful "forever chemical" from the PFAS group, originating from pesticide use. This discovery has raised significant concerns among authorities and the scientific community.

According to the Pesticide Action Network Europe (PANE), 10 out of 19 mineral water samples tested were found to contain TFA at levels up to 32 times higher than the safety threshold. The study indicates that this contamination is primarily due to the use of pesticides containing TFA in European countries.
