Abstract | The purpose of the report is to show that in addition to real water-related diseases, which have specific and fixed causes, the possibility exists, that there could be a correlation between disease and one or more water-related or reported factors. In these cases, it is the rule not to give a simple correlation between cause and effect. The use of drinking water of a certain composition can represent a necessary precondition for the development of a certain disease, but does not necessarily have to be the only cause. |
