    The document describes methods for contaminant reduction using membrane filtration techniques like reverse osmosis and nanofiltration. It shows how various contaminants can be reduced by 70-99% depending on their size and weight when water passes through semi-permeable membranes with pore sizes small enough to block the contaminants from passing through. Common local contaminants that can be treated with these methods are also listed.
