Understanding the Uses of Deuterium Depleted Water (DDW)
•
3 min read
Deuterium-depleted water (DDW) is water with a significantly lower concentration of deuterium, a naturally occurring heavy isotope of hydrogen. Regular water typically contains around 150 parts per million (ppm) of deuterium, but DDW is processed to reduce this level, with some commercial products falling between 10 ppm and 125 ppm. This unique isotopic composition is at the heart of its potential uses, which are being explored in various scientific and medical fields.
