Exercises 3 They say that reading is good for you, but did you know that it can also save your life? The Drinkable Book is a new invention that is both a water filter and an instruction manual for how and why to clean drinking water. In developing countries, access to clean water is rare. According to the World Health Organization, more than 3.4 million people die each year from water, sanitation, and hygiene related causes. Nearly 100% of deaths occur in the developing world. It's hoped this filtering device will save lives as well as making things much easier for millions of people. Pages can be torn out of the book and used to filter dirty water. Each book contains tiny particles of copper and silver that can eliminate over 99% of bacteria. As dirty water passes through the paper, bacteria absorb the silver ions which cause it to die. One page can purify up to 100 liters (about 26 gallons) of water and one book can supply one person's drinking water needs for about four years, the researchers said.
