[Hygienic evaluation of the water reclaimed from various moisture-containing wastes]

The paper reviews 5 experiments on 25 healthy male test subjects, aged 20-36. For drinking and cooking they used water reclaimed from various water-containing wastes (atmospheric condensate, urine, fluids used in engineering processes and biological wastes) by the oxidation-catalytic and sorption techniques. The resultant water was saturated with salts and decontaminated by ionic silver at a dose of 0.1 mg/l. The experimental data on the excretion of water and minerals allow the conclusion that reclaimed and conditioned water is physiologically adequate and that the human body reacts to its intake as it does to normal potable water.
