No iodinated product is presently approved by the U.S. EPA for more than six weeks of temporary, emergency use. There are documented records of Peace Corps volunteers who returned from Africa suffering from acute iodine toxicity from having to drink iodinated water over a period of time.
Additionally, HaloPure has many advantages over iodine-based systems:
• Imparts no objectionable taste or odor from a surplus of chemical, even in higher-temperature environments
• Results in sweet, fresh-tasting water—doesn’t smell “like dead fish”
• Operates well in cold temperatures
• Poses no risk of overdosing

Access to Safe Drinking Water and Its Impact on Global Economic Growth
Despite a concentrated international effort, significant investment and widespread educational campaigns, access to safe drinking water appears to be in decline. HaloSource®, a leading global clean water and antimicrobial technology company, set out to examine the possible reasons for this decline and the potential impact it may have on global economic growth.
The paper answers the following questions:
- How serious is the problem?
- - When will access to safe drinking water decline and to what extent?
- - Why will access to safe drinking water decline?
- How does access to safe drinking water affect economic growth?
- - When might the world economy suffer from a decline in access to safe drinking water?
- - How can the possible negative economic consequences from a fall in access to safe drinking water be averted?
