Water is bound to be our biggest cause of conflict later in life. It is stated that more than 1.1 billion people in the world don't have the means to access clean drinking water. Many bacteria as well as parasites common in animals can also cause infection to humans. A few of these parasites can survive on water sources. And in case at any case you collected your water from all of these sources, you or some other person on your family can get sick from drinking that contaminated water except if it has been subject to purification process.

For this reason a water purifier which uses nanotechnology to purify water was developed. They made a device called the Life Straw. The thing that makes Life straw exceptional from all other filters is it is smaller, more advance and purifies water within a much higher standard. This means Life Straw uses nano-tubes to filter water right down to 25 NANOMETERS. They are 100,000 times small compared to the width of a human hair. The core work of this filter is accomplished by hollow fibers, commonly known as nano filters. It's not only effective in removing bacteria or parasitic cysts, additionally, it may remove viruses and will purify even from waste materials contaminated water sources. It's been demonstrated to reduce bacteria by six logs or similar to 99.9999%, viruses by 99.99%, and in cystic protozoa which we are all aware are definitely the parasites resistant to chlorine disinfection by 99.9%. It goes to demonstrate that this device operates in the highest levels in International standards for microbiological water purifiers. Though it doesn't take out chemicals or salt, it's very little of a problem. The most important issue is to remove bacteria, viruses and protozoa on the water which cause water borne diseases. Life Straw was created for countries that have a mass number of individuals who can't obtain clean and safe water to drink.

The said device can be functional for an estimated lifespan of three years. This could mean three years in which you don't really need to stress about water borne viruses and bacteria. This could certainly also mean healthier lives for any family and hopefully greater economic success in each and every country.
