Drinkable Book Filters Water in Developing Worlds

Aug-23-15 Filled with pages of water-filtering paper, the Drinkable Book could bring clean water to people in developing nations around the world.

Created by Therea Dankovich of Carnegie Mellon University, the Drinkable Book’s pages are made up of cellulose paper embedded with copper nanoparticles and bacteria-killing silver nanoparticles. Each page can be torn out and shaped to use as a filter, with each filter effective for up to 100 liters of water. Besides offering a way to clean polluted water, the book’s pages are also printed with useful sanitation information relevant to the local community.
