Wow, if the coating is so cheap perhaps it can replace activated charcoal elsewhere, too. Would it also triple the capacity of water filters?

- MauranKilom 6y agoI'm not exactly sure you want carbon nanotubes in your water filter. They are mechanically very similar to asbestos and seem to likewise damage lung tissue. Probably better not to ingest them?
- rini17 6y agoBut the activated charcoal too contains all kinds of structures, including nanotubes. It's the filter construction that prevents them to end up in water (and they are much less dangerous in water than in air). If it can filter 3 times as much water before needing to be replaced, why not?
