Researchers at Texas A&M University have developed a water purification method to remove and inactivate waterborne viruses.<\/h2>\n
With the help of sophisticated microscopy and computational analysis, a team at Texas A&M University have successfully validated a water purification technology that utilises electricity to eliminate and inactivate waterborne viruses.<\/p>\n
A new approach to water purification<\/h3>\n
The researchers\u2019 water purification strategy may offer another level of safety against pathogens that lead to gastrointestinal ailments and other infections in humans.<\/p>\n
“There is always a need for new techniques that are better, cheaper and more effective at safeguarding the public against disease-causing microorganisms,” explained Shankar Chellam, an engineer at Texas A&M University. “The water purification technique investigated in this study is a promising strategy to kill even more viruses at the earliest stages of water purification.”<\/p>\n
