7 Infused Water Combinations To Add A Touch Of Fancy To Your Hydration Needs
Not including the pandan-smelling water that’s reportedly coming out of some taps.
Earlier this week, some homes in Singapore reported their boiled tap water smelling like pandan. Following an investigation by national water agency PUB, it was found that this was caused by the presence of tetrahydrofuran (THF), an organic compound that is also commonly used as a solvent in industries. The issue was traced back to water imported from Malaysia, and PUB has said that they’ve flushed out the affected networks and pipes. Given that there were just trace amounts of the THF organic compound detected in the water supply, PUB also said that it has no adverse impact on health.
