| Physical filtration barriers for accumulation or collection of microorganisms in water that
endanger human health have been in focus during the last several years. Zeolite NSF61 will be an ideal collector
of pathogens such as Giardia, cryptosporidium, and other oocyst and protozoa and their spores. Most of these organisms and
their spores are in the size range of 0.5 to 10 micrometers (microns). In contrast, the water permeable pores in
Zeolite NSF61 are mostly smaller than 0.05 microns; therefore the zeolite fragment or granule can “surface
collect” a high percentage of these microorganisms while the water passes through the zeolite fragment.
The U.S. drinking water standards for microorganism pathogens and turbidity can be easily met using a natural,
low-cost material, such as Zeolite NSF61 rather than “sand” which is chiefly quartz grains. |
