Introduction

Water

Water is a substance composed of chemical elements hydrogen and oxygen and its scientific name is known as H2O (Zumdahl, 2021). Next, water is also known as a universal solvent because it can dissolve many substances such as salt and sugar. Besides that, water is important to our daily life and key to our survival. Pure water plays important role in the body including flushing waste from the body and regulating body temperature (Weymiller, 2017).   However, consuming impure water will affect our health. For example, one of the effects is stomachache and diarrhea which is having a watery stool. Another effect is linked to cancer and heart disease after consuming water sources that are polluted by radium or radon gas (Bedwards, 2016).
