The Best Water Filters for Benzene Removal

Benzene is among the most dangerous of all water contaminants. This chemical is used in a variety of manufacturing processes, and is also often used in dry cleaning and printing. This substance can end up in the drinking water supply through industrial spills as well as through ground water contamination. Benzene is a known carcinogen. Ingestion of Benzene can lead to problems with both the immune and nervous system, and is also believed to cause anemia. Repeated exposure to the substance over a long period of time can cause chromosomal abnormalities.

When seeking to compare water filters, it's important to consider how effectively the brands and models you are considering filter out Benzene. The Aquasana AQ-4000 water filter is able to remove more than 99% of Benzene from contaminated water. The model SY-2300 Culligan water filters are rated at 99% effectiveness with filtering this substance. Brita faucet filters are 96% effective with Benzene removal, but the pitcher style Brita water filters are not designed to offer Benzene filtration.
