For some reason, I cannot fix my grammatical mistakes.

So in other words the well documented anti bacterial properties of silver which people don't use because medical doses may turn your skin blue for the rest of your life are now being applied to sewage water filled with dissolved nasty solids which won't be removed by the silver therefore making the water drinkable...

SOLD!!!!!!!

Hmm.. have blue skin vs. me or family not dying around me because my water is infected with cholera, typhoid, etc.

Yea who gives a shit if my skin turns blue.

Drinkable books are so last century.
We need drinkable Kindles!

I think you have to take really high doses of larger particle colloidal silver to turn blue.

Cool idea, but we need to start looking for ways to support the sheer numbers of people we have on this planet before we start cutting down on mortality rates further. That's just my opinion, probably not a popular one.

They lost me when they started talking about "nano particles".
I don't need snazzy marking bullshit to help save lives.

Just for once it's chemistry and not marketing!

This article on a proposed replacement explains the use of Ag nanoparticles as an antibacterial agent. Google the term and you'll also find a lot of articles worrying about the safety of silver nanoparticles in clothing. The idea is that antibacterial clothing will smell less, but some people worry about the safety of this, and detergent tends to deactivate it anyway.

In the case of this book though, I would expect most of the silver to stay in the filter but even if not it's likely to be safer than drinking contaminated water.
