In addition, as the concentration of silver to be eluted,
The concentration of silver added to drinking water according to (H) must not exceed the regulated value (50 ppb) in drinking water, so the concentration of added silver is naturally limited, and there is a problem that the sterilization duration of activated carbon is shortened. ing.
