Aeration. A technique by which air is introduced into a liquid; bubbles and aero are generated and dissolved gases released. For example, water aerated by passing through a showerhead will release dissolved radon gas. ACTIVATED CARBON: A material made from burnt wood, which is used to remove organic solutes, such as pesticides, and some inorganic solutes, such as chlorine, from water. Dissolved organic solutes are removed from the water by absorption onto activated carbon. The activated carbon must be periodically replaced when it becomes saturated and unable to adsorb any more solute. Activated carbon is not effective in removing heavy metals, such as lead.
