Unclean water is a crisis impacting 1 in 9 people around the world. Spreading serious diseases such as typhoid and cholera, contaminated water kills as many as 500,000 people annually, however, researchers at the University of Manchester hope they have found a solution to this serious health epidemic.

Graphene is a material that has a number of uses including in hair dye and even batteries, but perhaps the most amazing ability of this ultra-strong material is its ability to filter water impurities. Turning ordinary cooking oil into Graphene and attaching this material to a water filter, researchers have suggested that this cost-effective solution can filter out 99.9% of contaminates and believe it will become a huge part of the fight to bring clean water to people worldwide.

Key Takeaways:

• dirty water is a big problem for peopole. the usage of dirty water spreads many viruses to people
• the people who using dirty water for washing clothes and for bathing facing diarrhoea and typhoid.
• the people who are using graphene instead of oil is now in better life style.

“Dirty water is a serious public health concern and drinking or washing in dirty water spreads diseases such as diarrhoea, cholera and typhoid. Contaminated drinking water causes over 500,000 deaths each year from diarrhoea, a leading killer of children under five.”
