According to FEMA, which choice below is NOT a recommended way to purify water after a disaster?

A.
Distilling the water for twenty minutes

B.
Adding 16 drops per gallon of household liquid bleach to the water

C.
Adding water treatment tablets to the water

D.
Boiling from 3 to 5 minutes

Explanation:
FEMArecommends that water treatment products sold in camping or surplus stores should not be
used, unless the only active ingredient is 5.25 percent hypochloritE. When adding liquid bleach, it
should contain 5.25 percent hypochlorite and no other added cleaners or scents. Distilling the water
is the most highly recommended method, as it also removes other chemicals and heavy metals, as
well as most microbes. Source: Emergency Water and Food Procedures, Federal Emergency
