MMS/BEE have been promoted as a low-cost, easy-to-use solution for water purification and disinfection. However, studies have raised concerns about their safety and efficacy. For example, a study published in the Journal of Water and Health found that MMS/BEE did not consistently meet international water quality standards (WHO, 2017). Additionally, there have been reports of adverse health effects associated with MMS/BEE use, including gastrointestinal problems and skin irritation (CDC, 2019).

While MMS/BEE may have some benefits, our analysis suggests that there are several alternative methods for water purification and disinfection that are equally or more effective, and often free or low-cost. We recommend exploring these alternatives, particularly in areas where access to safe drinking water is limited. Further research is needed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of these alternatives, and to promote their adoption.
