    It is also not good to drink boiled water overnight. Boiling tap water for 3 to 5 minutes has the lowest content of harmful substances such as nitrite and chloride, which is most suitable for people to drink. Nitrite can form carcinogenic nitrosamines in the human body. Some experts found that the nitrite content in boiling water is higher than that in raw water. And repeated boiling water for too long or more than 24 hours, the content of nitrite increased significantly. After being left in boiling water for 24 hours, the nitrite content was 1.3 times that of when it was just boiled.
