780 million people still lack access to clean drinking water. A new breed of filter could change that but must be made more affordable.
rajendrashende‘s insight:
The filters are based on the technology used in kidney dialysis machines. Each filter is made up of tiny micro tubes with pores hundreds of times smaller than the diameter of a human hair. These pores remove deadly bacteria and allow only clean water to pass through for drinking. Bio Mimicry at its simplest form…but costly.
