Water Filtration System in a Straw
In alot of places there arent alot of good water to drink, but there could be a life saving thing that is being made right now. It is called the Vestergaard Frandsen Group's mobile personal filtration system, otherwise known as LifeStraw. It is a powder-blue plastic tube—much thicker than an ordinary straw—containing filters that make water teeming with typhoid cholera and diarrhea-causing micro rganisms drinkable. MAdeup of a halogenated resin, kill nearly 100 percent of bacteria and nearly 99 percent of the viruses that pass through LifeStraw. At less than 10 inches (25 centimeters) long, the device can filter up to 185 gallons (700 liters) of water, estimated to be about a year's supply for one person. The device is no longer usable when its filters become too clogged to pass water through, typically after a year of hard use.
What i think of this? i think that this is a huge step in technology because if we get this around the world it can save alot of peoples lives from diseases, such as cholera and all the bad toxins in the water. It would help the environment because if we use this instead we dont have to use electricity to pump and filter water in these huge factories. All a person has to do is take this and drink out of toilet water duhh.
