Reasons To Change Your Water Filter: Asbestos

One reason you will want to replace that model #t1rfkb1 filter or other water filter in your refrigerator is asbestos. Though asbestos is most widely known as a contaminant present in many materials formerly used in construction, it can also be present in water. Asbestos enters the water supply through either naturally occurring deposits in the soil or decay of asbestos cement water pipes. Fortunately for your water, inhalation is the most serious way to ingest asbestos. The most serious possible health effect of ingesting asbestos through water is benign intestinal polyps. However, the more you can decrease any health risks, the better, and you can do so with your water filters.
