English term or phrase: waterborne

Are there other benefits to having copper in our water?

Studies show that copper tubing can inhibit the food and waterborne pathogen, E. coli O157:H7, that can cause sickness and even death in humans. Copper also inhibits other pathogens like the Polio virus, Salmonella, Legionella, and more.
