RE: How scientists made a cheap new filter to purify water
This is great news. Perhaps it can be expanded to take the other hazardous wastes out of water. The heavy metals and harmful chemicals.

The we could all get safe, clean water. I'm sure the market would buy this in droves. And if it can eliminate hazardous wastes, then it would be easy to get water polluting factories to use it as well.

No one wants polluted water.

RE: How scientists made a cheap new filter to purify water
We have been using silver (along with copper and lately zinc) to purify hot tub water for decades. It's the only accepted method of eliminating chlorine in your hot tub...

NASA used silver to purify water in the Apollo moon program, and it's still used in the eyes of newborns and on burn patients. If big pharma had their way, though, no one would know about silver!

Big pharma makes plenty on collodial silver, trust me.

As to this filter, this is revolutionary. I just hope it is true and not a room temperture fusion project failure.
