Swiss-based company Vestergaard Frandsenis is a true life-saver – their LifeStraw water filter purifies water and removes 99.9999% of waterborne bacteria and 99.9% of parasites. The best part, filtering process doesn’t require any chemicals nor batteries.
According Wikipedia, “water that is drawn up through the straw first passes through hollow fibers that filter water particles down to 0.2 microns across, using only physical filtration methods. The entire process is powered by suction, similar to using a conventional drinking straw, and filters up to 1000 liters of water. While the initial model of the filter did not remove Giardia lamblia, LifeStraw removes a minimum of 99.9% of waterborne protozoan parasites including giardia and cryptosporidium.”
It’s definitely a good news for those that doesn’t have access to clean water.
