Indians too are realizing the benefits of nanotechnology. Researchers at IIT Madras have developed a water purifier which uses nanotechnology. This can be regarded as the world’s first nanoparticle based water filter. This water purifier will be launched by Eureka Forbes in the market and cleans pesticide from the water by using metal nanoparticles. Department of Science and Technology had funded this project and in a country where water quality is quite poor it should work as a blessing in disguise.

With the water purifier hitting the market soon it is expected that there would lesser water contamination diseases in the country. I was just wondering will this technology only reach the rich or efforts would be made for bringing it to the masses.

I believe the benefits should also reach the poor who don’t have access to quality water and this will surely help in improving the health standards in the country and also bring down the death rate as a result.
