Interesting that the same chemical used to purify water is used to also dye clothing.
ReplyDeleteI knew that it was used to dye cloth, but I did not know it relieved pain or kill certain insects.
ReplyDeleteIt's kind of funny that my chemical Calcium carbonate is used to decrease acidity in soil yet both calcium carbonate and aluminum sulfate are used as pain killers
ReplyDeleteThis is really interesting. A question I would have is are there any sideeffects of this chemical purifying our water?
