Low-cost method removes micro- and nanoplastics from water

Researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil have developed a novel nanotechnology-based solution for the removal of micro- and nanoplastics from water. Their research is published in the journal Micron. Tiny plastic particles are ubiquitous in the world today and may currently be one of the most important environmental problems, after the climate emergency and the accelerating extinction of species and ecosystems. Microplastics are in the soil, water and air, and in the bodies of animals and humans. They come from everyday consumer goods and from wear-and-tear on larger materials. They are found everywhere and in every kind of environment. A major source is the water used to wash clothes made of synthetic fibers. Microplastics currently cannot be filtered out of wastewater and eventually penetrate the soil, water table, rivers, oceans and atmosphere.

I have two (mostly) unrelated mask questions.

Firstly, given the phrase I keep hearing recently that covid "spreads like smoke," is it a sign that my N95 isn't working if I can smell someone's cigarette smoke or vape mist through it?

Secondly, if one wanted to switch from disposable N95s to an elastomeric mask for the purposes of daily wear at an in-person job, how do the protocols for filter reuse work? Can you use the same filter multiple days in a row? Can you do the brown-bag disinfection thing and swap in a different filter each day? Do you need to clean the mask somehow in between each use?

Thank you for any info you may have, I appreciate it.

You can smell things through a mask because many smells are caused by vapors. If you wanted to block vapors, you'd need a P100 elastomeric with specialized cannisters. Covid (and other viruses) spread via aerosols, which are small particles, water droplets that are ~micron sized. Those are caught in the tangled, electostatically charged mesh that makes up a quality mask.

Elastomeric fikters really vary in reuse depending on design and use, but they all typically last much longer for airborne disease prevention than, say, construction work (what they're often rated for). And they all last longer than disposable KN- or N95 masks because the filter media does not make contact with your face, reducing contamination from sweat and skin oils. I've never changed the filters in my MSA elastomeric because it uses splash-proof cannisters, and they still look as clean as the day I got them inside. My flomask, however, becomes visibly dirty after two or so days of extended use, and I change the filter then. If I'm just going to the Asian food market or something quick like a doctor's visit, I can usually reuse that filter for weeks on end, changing it when I see any spots begin to form from spit, sweat, dirt, etc. You should always wipe down your elastomeric after use and clean it with a mild disinfectant if you wear it daily ever couple-few days depending on how sweaty/oily you get. There should be instructions for cleaning included with your elastomeric. Each uses different materials, so the cleaning instructions will vary.

Re: Ask:

Your blog is one of the reasons I came back to Tumblr. Thanks for maintaining it! Would you mind posting reliable sources that you find on H5N1 , please? Don’t want to panic yet, but now that they found human-to-human transmission, should we?

Hey, thanks!

I just post as I organically see info, or seek it out as-needed, or what I learn in the course of my work — while trying not to be more focused on this than necessary. I'm glad it's useful for others, though there may be temporal and knowledge gaps. Like this one: I don't know as much about H5N1.

The latest I've seen are the articles about this case: US confirms first case of bird flu with no known animal exposure (bbc.com)

Yale News generally has solid info: H5N1 Bird Flu: What You Need to Know > News > Yale Medicine

If you already take layered precautions, you should be OK.

One question I personally had was whether H5N1 viruses (80-120 nm in diameter) are too small to be caught by N95 masks (which have a filtration efficiency of at least 95% for NaCl particles 100–300 nm in size.) USA Today actually has a nice Fact Check article about how masks work — in regards to COVID, but more broadly applicable and interesting:

TL;DR: yes N95s are also effective against viruses smaller than 300 nm.

Excerpts + more:

The size-based argument against N95 laid out in this claim assumes mask filtering works something like water flowing through a net — particles in the water smaller than the net opening pass through, while larger items don’t. But the physics involved don’t work like that at all. The COVID-19 particle is indeed around 0.1 microns in size, but it is always bonded to something larger. “There is never a naked virus floating in the air or released by people,” said Linsey Marr, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at Virginia Tech who specializes in airborne transmission of viruses. The virus attaches to water droplets or aerosols (i.e. really small droplets) that are generated by breathing, talking, coughing, etc. These consist of water, mucus protein and other biological material and are all larger than 1 micron. “Breathing and talking generate particles around 1 micron in size, which will be collected by N95 respirator filters with very high efficiency,” said Lisa Brosseau, a retired professor of environmental and occupational health sciences who spent her career researching respiratory protection. ... The N95 filter indeed is physically around the 0.3 micron size. But that doesn’t mean it can only stop particles larger than that. The masks are actually best for particles either larger or smaller than that 0.3 micron threshold. “N95 have the worst filtration efficiency for particles around 0.3,” Marr said. ��If you’re smaller than that those are actually collected even better. It’s counterintuitive because masks do not work like sieving out larger particles. It’s not like pasta in a colander, and small ones don’t get through.” N95 masks actually have that name because they are 95% efficient at stopping particles in their least efficient particle size range — in this case those around 0.3 microns. Why do they work better for smaller ones? There are a number of factors at play, but here are two main ones noted by experts: The first is something called “Brownian motion,” the name given to a physical phenomenon in which particles smaller than 0.3 microns move in an erratic, zig-zagging kind of motion. This motion greatly increases the chance they will be snared by the mask fibers. Secondly, the N95 mask itself uses electrostatic absorption, meaning particles are drawn to the fiber and trapped, instead of just passing through.

Only one qualm about that article: it's from 2020 and at the time, based on faulty older science, it was thought that droplets were the big concern and that "there’s not a lot of evidence for aerosol spread" — we've now known for years that this is false: "SARS-CoV-2 primarily spreads through airborne transmission, which is mainly characterized by droplets and aerosols."

It's interesting that they quoted Linsey Marr in that Fact Check because: The 60-Year-Old Scientific Screwup That Helped Covid Kill | WIRED

And H5N1? I'm honestly uncertain, but found this: Aerosolized Exposure to H5N1 Influenza Virus Causes Less Severe Disease Than Infection via Combined Intrabronchial, Oral, and Nasal Inoculation in Cynomolgus Macaques - PMC (nih.gov)

Why are Water Filters Healthier than RO?

Modern-day living prioritizes having a healthy mind and body. However, the indiscriminate use of chemicals and increasing pollution don’t spare even the necessities of life, i.e., air, water, and food, from getting contaminated. As a result, it has become crucial to install water filtration systems at home for access to clean and safe drinking water. 

There are different filtration methods, such as activated carbon, granular activated carbon, ceramic, reverse osmosis (RO), ultraviolet (UV), ultrafiltration (UF), and ion exchange, used in water filters. Selecting the right water filter for your home can be intimidating because some filtration systems are too expensive, and some also eliminate essential minerals while eliminating contaminants. 

At a recent healthcare webinar, experts warned against the existing belief that RO drinking water is the healthiest, emphasizing the health risks it poses due to mineral depletion. The World Health Organisation (WHO) and doctors, too, have discouraged the excessive use of RO.

So, what should you do to get contaminant-free and healthy drinking water? This article describes the key differences between RO systems and other water filters and how the latter is a healthier, more cost-effective, and environmentally friendly alternative. 

What is Reverse Osmosis (RO)?

Reverse osmosis is a multi-stage filtration system that removes contaminants from unfiltered water. It pushes water through a microscopically small filter material. 

When you install an RO system at home, it filters water through at least three stages of treatment to eliminate all types of contaminants. The semipermeable membrane’s pore size is around 0.0001 microns. It only lets small water molecules pass through and catches any large-sized contaminants, salt, and organic materials. During the final filtration stage, water flows from the membrane’s more concentrated side to the less concentrated side to give out purified drinking water. 

Pros of RO systems

Many Indian households install an RO system for additional water purification. Its benefits include:

Elimination of Nearly All Contaminants

A residential-grade reverse osmosis filter can remove up to 96% chlorine and arsenic, 90% fluoride, 99% lead and asbestos, and 83 other harmful contaminants. Its microscopic filter eliminates the larger contaminants that most water filtration systems eliminate.  

But this is also possible with Rama Pure Water's multi-stage purification process. The filter performs a 2-stage purification to remove more than 95% of lead, chlorine, and chloramines and 99.99% of shigella, giardia, Salmonella Typhii, Teriganna, E.Coli, cryptosporidium, and vibrio cholera. The system, unlike an RO system, relies on gravity for its operations.

A Safer Alternative to Bottled Water

It is a well-known fact that plastic bottles are damaging to the environment. Comparatively, RO-filtered water is safer and more environmentally friendly than the daily use of disposable plastic bottles. Empty plastic bottles pile up in landfills, and the production of plastic also results in a high carbon footprint. 

Cons of RO systems

Although RO filtration is regarded as one of the most effective and safest water filtration methods, it does carry various disadvantages. 

Eliminates Healthy Minerals and Decreases pH Levels

RO filters aren’t only effective at removing dangerous contaminants. They also eliminate healthy minerals like calcium, potassium, magnesium, other bicarbonates, and municipally-added fluoride. 

Moreover, when the filter gets rid of these minerals, the water’s pH level decreases, making it more acidic. This increased acidity is more corrosive to plumbing systems and can take away lead and copper from pipes, mixing those toxic metals in the water. 

Wastes More Water than it Purifies

Wasted water is one of the biggest demerits of RO water systems. Many studies revealed that the water wasted during reverse osmosis is between 3 and 20 times as much as the water they purify. This means RO filters are wasteful for the environment, and homeowners might also have to pay higher water bills than before. 

Slow Filtration Rate

In a RO system, water is forced to pass through the tiny apertures of the RO membrane. While this aspect makes the filtration process more thorough, it also makes it slower than other methods. RO water purification systems have pre-filters and activated carbon filters. This increases the time the filtration process takes. 

Costs More and Demands High Maintenance

The initial investment to install the devices in households and business premises is high. Moreover, after you’ve installed the RO filter, you must maintain it regularly and replace consumables frequently. If you do not maintain and clean the filtration system regularly, it can hamper the device’s efficiency and cause the quality of the water produced to decline.

The Importance of Minerals in Your Drinking Water

Tap water comprises many essential minerals, including calcium, potassium, and magnesium. These minerals are vital for health and contribute to strong bones and teeth and healthy hair and skin. They also play a significant role in the body’s growth and development. 

While a balanced diet comprises all essential minerals, the body absorbs minerals from water better than it absorbs minerals from food. Your body can utilize calcium and magnesium from water better due to their high bioavailability. 

Most Indian households rely on RO systems for water purification. However, RO filters function in a way that not only eliminates harmful contaminants but also essential minerals from water. Rama Pure Water is a leading manufacturer of the best non-electric stainless steel filters. These devices are designed to produce clean water while retaining the essential minerals your body requires.

Benefits of Conventional Water Filters

Cost-effective

RO systems consume high volumes of energy. But Rama Pure Water’s filtration system does not require electricity, enabling you to enjoy unmatched savings as soon as you install it. Moreover, it is ideal to fulfill your outdoor drinking water needs. Its filter does not require frequent replacements, and the maintenance expenses are also low. The body is built using 304 high-grade stainless steel for sturdiness and long-lastingness. This means you do not have to worry about changing your water filter frequently due to wear and tear. Consequently, the water filter is a more cost-effective alternative than RO systems. 

Zero water wastage

Another prominent drawback of RO systems is water wastage during filtration. The advanced filtration system of Rama Pure Water does not waste even one drop of water. It is a revolutionary system for water conservation. This is another way the system saves you money. 

Environmentally Friendly

Ceramic filters are one of the most environmentally friendly options because you can repeatedly wash and reuse them. Sediment filters don’t let particulate matter build up and clog water flow, ensuring access to clean drinking water 24/7. 

Rama Pure Water’s best non-electric stainless steel filters are also environmentally friendly. They do not require electricity for operation and have no plastic use. To know more about gravity water filters and their advantages, read our blog "Rama Gravity Water Purifiers: Clean & Safe Solution."

Conclusion

The previously prevailing notion that RO-filtered water is the healthiest choice has been busted. The filtration process eliminates essential minerals from water, increasing the likelihood of health challenges. These minerals are crucial for the body’s development and growth and help build strong teeth and bones. However, you cannot skip away the filtration process and start drinking water directly from the tap. Thus, you must opt for conventional water filters, such as ceramic, UF, and non-electric filters. These options are cost-effective and environmentally friendly. 

Visit Rama Pure Water’s website to buy the best non-electric stainless steel water filters and enjoy peace of mind as you and your family have access to clean and safe drinking water and the benefits of essential minerals.

Do Air Purifiers Help with Cooking Odors? How to Keep Your Kitchen Smelling Fresh

Cooking at home can be a delightful and rewarding experience, but it often comes with one significant downside: lingering cooking odors. Whether it’s the scent of fried fish, sautéed garlic, or spices from a flavorful curry, these smells can permeate your kitchen and entire home, making it less pleasant for you and your guests. This brings us to an increasingly popular solution: air purifiers. But do air purifiers help with cooking odors? Let's explore how air purifiers can contribute to a fresher kitchen environment and offer tips on how to keep your kitchen smelling fresh.

How Do Air Purifiers Work?

Air purifiers are devices designed to remove contaminants from the air in a room to improve indoor air quality. They typically work through a combination of filters that trap airborne particles and pollutants. The main types of filters include:

HEPA Filters: High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters are capable of capturing 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns. These filters are effective for removing dust, pollen, and pet dander but not gases or odors.

Activated Carbon Filters: These filters are specifically designed to capture gases, odors, and chemical vapors. The absorbent nature of activated carbon makes it ideal for trapping the molecules that give rise to cooking smells.

UV-C Light: Some air purifiers are equipped with UV-C light that kills bacteria, viruses, and mold spores. However, UV-C light does not specifically address odors.

Air Purifiers and Cooking Odors

Cooking odors result from airborne particles and gases released during the cooking process. An air purifier equipped with an activated carbon filter can effectively reduce these odors. Here's how:

Capturing Odor Particles: Activated carbon filters have numerous tiny pores that capture and hold odor-causing molecules. As air passes through the filter, it traps these particles, thereby removing unpleasant smells from the air.

Reducing VOCs: Many cooking activities release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air. Activated carbon filters are also effective in adsorbing these compounds, which helps in minimizing lingering cooking odors.

Choosing the Right Air Purifier for Your Kitchen

When selecting an air purifier to combat cooking odors, consider the following factors:

Filter Type: Ensure the air purifier has an activated carbon filter. Without this, the device will not be effective in removing cooking smells.

Room Size: Choose an air purifier that matches the size of your kitchen. Most manufacturers provide a recommended room size for each model.

Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR): CADR measures the volume of filtered air delivered by the purifier. A higher CADR indicates a faster and more effective purification process.

Maintenance: Consider the ease of replacing filters and the associated cost. Regularly changing filters is crucial for maintaining the purifier’s efficiency.

Tips for Keeping Your Kitchen Smelling Fresh

While an air purifier can significantly improve your kitchen’s air quality, here are additional tips to keep your kitchen smelling fresh:

Ventilation: Use kitchen exhaust fans and open windows when cooking to allow fresh air to circulate and expel odors.

Clean Regularly: Wipe down surfaces, including countertops, stovetops, and cabinetry, to remove grease and food residue that can emit odors over time.

Simmer Spices: Boiling a pot of water with lemon slices, cinnamon sticks, or other aromatic spices can help neutralize odors naturally.

Use Natural Absorbents: Placing bowls of baking soda, vinegar, or activated charcoal in your kitchen can help absorb unpleasant smells.

Take Out the Trash: Always dispose of food scraps and take out the garbage regularly. Rotting food can contribute to lingering odors.

Conclusion

In conclusion, yes, air purifiers can help with cooking odors, especially those equipped with activated carbon filters. These devices effectively capture and neutralize odor-causing particles and gases, contributing to a fresher and more pleasant kitchen environment. However, to maximize the effectiveness of your air purifier, it’s essential to choose the right model for your kitchen and complement its use with proper ventilation, regular cleaning, and natural odor absorbers.

By following these tips and incorporating an air purifier into your kitchen routine, you can enjoy cooking at home without worrying about persistent odors. Keep your kitchen air fresh and ensure a more inviting space for you and your guests.

The Role of Food Calorimeter and Membrane Filtration Assembly in Modern Food Testing

In the ever-evolving field of food science, precise and accurate testing is crucial for ensuring both food quality and safety. Among the many tools used in food analysis, the food calorimeter and the membrane filtration assembly stand out as essential equipment that help scientists, researchers, and manufacturers conduct thorough testing. These instruments play a vital role in assessing the nutritional value of food, ensuring food safety, and evaluating the presence of harmful microorganisms. In this blog, we’ll explore the significance of the food calorimeter and membrane filtration assembly in modern food testing, focusing on how they contribute to the accuracy and reliability of food analysis.

What is a Food Calorimeter?

A food calorimeter is an essential tool used to measure the caloric content of food. This instrument works by determining the amount of heat released when a sample of food is burned in a controlled environment. The food calorimeter is typically employed in food research, product development, and quality control to ensure that the nutritional information provided on food packaging is accurate and reliable.

The calorimeter functions by utilizing a process called calorimetry. When a sample of food is combusted, the calorimeter measures the heat released during the process. This heat corresponds to the amount of energy contained in the food, which is then quantified in terms of calories or joules. This method allows for the precise determination of the caloric content of food, making the food calorimeter indispensable in modern food testing and nutrition science.

Applications of the Food Calorimeter:

Nutritional Labeling: The food calorimeter helps manufacturers accurately calculate the caloric content of their products, which is essential for proper labeling and compliance with nutritional regulations.

Dietary Research: In clinical and dietary research, understanding the energy content of foods is key to developing balanced meal plans and assessing dietary intake.

Food Quality Control: Manufacturers use food calorimeters to ensure consistency in the caloric content of their products, allowing for quality control during production.

What is a Membrane Filtration Assembly?

The membrane filtration assembly is a piece of equipment used to separate microorganisms from liquid samples, such as water, beverages, or food products. It consists of a membrane filter that captures microorganisms, allowing the clean liquid to pass through. The membrane filtration assembly is commonly used in microbiological testing to determine the presence of harmful bacteria, yeast, fungi, and other pathogens in food and beverages.

The process involves passing a liquid sample through a membrane filter with very fine pores, typically ranging from 0.2 to 0.45 microns. Microorganisms in the sample are trapped on the membrane’s surface, while the liquid passes through. After filtration, the membrane is placed on a growth medium and incubated, allowing any trapped microorganisms to grow. The results are then analyzed to determine if any harmful organisms are present in the sample.

Applications of the Membrane Filtration Assembly:

Microbiological Testing: The membrane filtration assembly is widely used in food safety testing to identify pathogens such as E. coli, Salmonella, and Listeria, which can cause foodborne illnesses.
