Effect of nano silica on water quality, health and safety in swimming pools
Journal Title: International Journal of Applied Exercise Physiology - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
The purpose of this study has been to review of using nano-silica on the efficiency of water treatment of the swimming pool. The current research was an experimental study and was performed in-vitro and experimentally. At first, a nano-particle, called "Nano-Silica", was prepared in the laboratory and herbal additives such as turmeric, curries, saffron and cinnamon were used to increase its antibacterial property. Then, for performing microbiological tests, the water samples of Urmia University's swimming pool were studied in a multi-stage process, in two parts including water samples before adding the nano-particle and after the addition of the nano-particle. Finally, to study the safety and safety, among the relevant factors, the PH and turbidity were studied in the laboratory again in two parts, including before and after the addition of the nano-particle. The survey results showed that there are averages of 2.0633 and 1.0325 before and after adding the nanoparticle, respectively, which is higher (P <0.05). Among the mentioned additives, the curries with 92% and the turmeric with 85% had the most antibacterial properties. But the nano-particle did not adjust the swimming pool water PH up to the optimal level of 7.2. However, it reduced the swimming pool water turbidity significantly. This study showed that by using the nano-silica and adding the herbal additives such as cinnamon and saffron, the swimming pool water treatment has reached to a better quality.
