Nanotech at it's finest! If this can be expanded and mass produced, it could have enormous worldwide effect on illness from water pollution. Digital Warfighter - VERMONT'S SELDON LABS WANTS TO KEEP SOLDIERS' WATER PURE Monday, April 26 2004 @ 07:49 AM EDT Contributed by: Stryker Small Times: A research lab here in the Green Mountain State has won a contract from the U.S. Air Force to develop a water filter that uses carbon nanotubes to stick it to pollutants. Founded only 16 months ago, Seldon Laboratories LLC has already delivered a prototype filter that skewers biological pathogens as a soldier gulps water into his mouth. Next up is a $2 million contract to make an improved version that blocks poisons, debris and other pollutants, resulting in water pure enough to use for medical purposes right on the battlefield. Alan Cummings, the lab's co-founder and chief executive officer, said the ultimate goal is a filter that can quickly purify water from any source – a river, ground well or mud puddle, for example – into a form pure enough that it can be mixed with freeze-dried blood for immediate transfusions.
