Filtration made green and easy
Summary
Researchers developed a green, portable, and low-cost water filtration technology capable of removing ultrafine particles including micro- and nanoplastics, pathogens, and toxic components from freshwater. Accessible filtration solutions are urgently needed since current technology for removing nanoplastics from drinking water is expensive and impractical for the settings where contamination risk is highest.
Whether on a hike, in a remote disaster zone or in your own home, access to clean water is critical. Filtration of freshwater to remove ultrafine particles like micro/nanoplastics, pathogens or other toxic components is unfortunately usually quite expensive, unportable and environmentally unfriendly.
