Reply to comment by Grapesoda5k in Ultrathin polymer-based ordered membranes that effectively remove salt from seawater and brine could provide a promising alternative to existing water desalination systems by giuliomagnifico

There was no mention of toxicity in that article? Dissolution of NaCl in H2O produces Na+, Cl-, OH- and H+ ions. These can form sodium hydroxide and hydrochloride acid. The article supports what I said saying that careful discharging into the ocean is safe if properly managed.

"If" isn't a response you can trust from a corporation.

And notice none of the solutions being done say this stuff is safe for human consumption.

If it was the waste wouldn't be an issue.

So it's not a matter of concentration.

And needing careful consideration in handling the bi-products argues its not just hi-test salt.
