Magnetic water, impact and perspectives

A new technology, based on a physical treatment of water by an electromagnetic field, can constitute a solution of recourse allowing the valorization of the water resources and offer new horizons for the human technology, in synergy with its environment. The present study aims to evaluate and understand the effects of electromagnetic technology. For this purpose, laboratory experiments under controlled conditions were carried out to understand the mechanisms by which water treated with electromagnetic field affects the physicochemical properties of water. It has been claimed that passing water through an electromagnetic field improves the chemical, physical properties and bacteriological quality of water in many different applications. Although this electromagnetic water treatment process has been used for decades, it still remains in the realm of pseudoscience. If the claims of treating water with electromagnets are confirmed, the process of magnetizing water has experienced a huge boom worldwide.
