SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the Maximum Allowable Limit (MAL) of cadmium in soft water, specifically addressing its implications for human health. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established a limit of 0.005 mg/L for cadmium in drinking water, emphasizing that this concentration is imperceptible to the naked eye. Additionally, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends a slightly lower limit of 0.003 mg/L. Understanding these limits is crucial for ensuring safe drinking water standards.
