Access to clean water in the world is getting harder day by day. Only 2,5% of the world's water consists of fresh water. The amount of potable water is less than 1%. According to the data of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO); In 2025, the rate of countries experiencing water stress may reach 34%, and the rate of countries experiencing water scarcity may reach 15%. Chlorine, a valuable chemical, plays the most important role in cleaning spring waters.
Making evaluations within the scope of 22 March World Water Day, Vefa İbrahim Araci, Chairman of the Board of Protection Companies Group, made statements by emphasizing that the importance of chlorine, which is inevitable to be used in cleaning city waters, industry and many areas, is not known correctly, and that chlorine plays the leading role in most areas.
The United Nations has declared 22 March as "World Water Day" since 1993. Within the scope of World Water Day, the theme of the year is covered every year. The theme of 2022 is “ground water”. Although 3/4 of our world is covered with water, the amount of usable water is 2,5% and the amount of potable water is less than 1%. Today, 2,2 billion people do not have access to safe water. In our country, the amount of water per capita is 2020 m346 as of 3. According to the data of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO); In 2025, the rate of countries experiencing water stress may reach 34%, while the rate of countries experiencing water scarcity may reach 15%. Contrary to popular belief, Turkey is not among the water-rich countries, but among the countries suffering from water scarcity. It is estimated that this value will decrease to 2050 m120 in 3 and will approach very close to 1000 m3, which is the limit value for water scarcity. Environmental pollution also causes pollution of clean water resources.
THE ROLE OF CHLORINE IN CLEANING CITY WATER IS HUGE
City water can be purified to remove unwanted chemicals, biological contaminants and other unwanted materials prior to industrial use. Purified water is used for many medical, pharmacological, chemical and industrial purposes. Therefore, it is very important to provide cheap, easy and healthy water, which is needed for both humanitarian and industrial purposes. Chlorine comes into play especially in cleaning city waters.
INTERMEDIATE: CHLORINE IS NOT HARMFUL AS IT IS MADE, THE AMOUNT OF CHLORINE IS VERY IMPORTANT
Vefa İbrahim Araci, Chairman of the Board of Protection Group of Companies, stated that, contrary to popular belief, chlorine is not harmful, on the contrary, chlorine provides protection. He emphasized that the most crucial issue here is the amount of chlorine use, emphasizing that the use of chlorine should be done consciously. Stating that even the simplest pesticide or a painkiller that enters the human body, undesirable results occur if the measure is missed, and mentioned that the chlorination step should be done consciously.
Indicating that chlorine is the most effective protection method even in the mucilage issue, which has become one of the first items on the agenda in the past 2021, Araç underlined that information studies should be carried out on this issue.
Indicating that information pollution creates a question mark in their minds, he stated that experts should transfer information on these issues. Stating that chlorine protects nature and that most people do not know about it, Araci said, “The need for clean water is increasing day by day. We, as the Protection Group of Companies, carry out very important works at world standards with our R&D unit and laboratories. We will always work with all our strength for our world. We will continue to produce for the use of water, which is the most important source of life.” said.
