The relationship between environmental abundant electromagnetic fields and packaging shape to their effects on the keeping quality of drinking water

An investigation studying the effects of EMF shielding, storage duration and packaging shape on the quality of natural mineral drinking water has been completed. Two identical groups each consisted of four containers with different packaging shapes were manufactured. The containers were used to stor...
