An estimated 783 million people do not have access to clean drinking water, a problem that kills thousands each day. To address the issue, Water is Life along with scientists from Carnegie Mellon and the University of Virginia created the “Drinking Book,” a technologically advanced book with pages capable of filtering up to 99.9 percent of bacteria and pathogens out of even the most contaminated sewage.
At first glance, the Drinking Book looks like your typical instruction booklet on water safety. In reality, however, the book’s orange-tinted pages contain silver and copper nanoparticles that act as a filter to strain bacteria and pathogens from water.
