Diarrheal illnesses claim the lives of hundreds of thousands of children each year, most of
whom live in rural and low-income communities. Ceramic Water Filters (CWF) are widely …

Locally produced ceramic water filters (CWF) are an effective technology to treat pathogen-
contaminated drinking water at the household level. CWF manufacturers apply silver to …

A series of bench-scale experiments were conducted on ceramic filters with various amounts
of silver and/or copper nanoparticles fired-in during the manufacturing process. The …

In many developing countries such as Guatemala, access to safe drinking water is very
limited. Many sources of water that are available are contaminated with bacteria, particularly …

Access to clean water remains challenging for people living in underdeveloped regions,
rural areas, and remote locations. In the absence of centralized water treatment systems …

Applying silver nanoparticles (nAg) or silver nitrate (AgNO 3) to ceramic water filters
improves microbiological efficacy, reduces biofilm formation, and protects stored water from …

Laboratory experiments were conducted on six point-of-use (POU) ceramic water filters that
were manufactured in Nicaragua; two filters were used by families for ca. 4years and the …

This research examined how variations in synthesis methods of silver nanoparticles affect
both the release of silver from ceramic water filters (CWFs) and disinfection efficacy. The …

Application of silver nanoparticles (nAg) or silver nitrate (AgNO3) has been shown to
improve the microbiological efficacy of ceramic water filters used for household water …

Drinking water source contamination poses a great threat to human health in developing
