Arsenic contaminated ground water is a global crisis.

USA Today reported in 2007 that "over 137 million people in more than 70 countries are probably affected by arsenic poisoning of drinking water".

Wikapedia reports drinking arsenic contaminated ground water is linked to cancer (bladder, lung, skin), diabetes, and cardiovascular, kidney, liver & respiratory diseases.

While Asia (China, Thailand & Taiwan) are acutely affected, this problem is also prevalent in the Americas (ie, Argentina, Chile & USA).
If arsenic contamination of ground water is the problem, nanotechnology is the solution.

Rice University Chemist Vicki Colvin confirms, "Right now, nanoscale iron is a bit too expensive to treat waste water ... but it's the best way to clean up concentrated arsenic and I expect the cost will come down soon."

National Geographic reported in June 2006 that "because the chemical reactions that neutralize pollutants take place on the surface of the [nano] beads, the greater the available [surface] area, the more effective the filter".
 #1 SAFETY: Today's nano-iron particles range in size from 2-600nm. Particles this small will penetrate micron aperature membranes, contaminating the very water the particles were intended to clean.

#2 PERFORMANCE: Today's nano-iron surface area typically ranges between 3-60 m2/gm. There are also ultra high surface area filters (+/- 500 m2/gm) that use non-iron particles to remove arsenic.

#3 PRICE: Today's nano-iron particles range in price from >$6000-$1360 per kilogram. Ultra high surface area filters are ultra high priced.		 We have developed a synthesis process that yields, in 2-3 gram batches, what could be the best nano-iron compound available anywhere for ground water arsenic abatement.

#1 SAFETY: Our particles range in size from 1-10 microns. Particles this large will not penetrate micron aperature membranes, keeping particles and filtered water separate without the reduced flow rate of nm aperature membranes.

#2 PERFORMANCE: Achieved thru nanoporous (3-9nm) particulate architecture, our particles range in surface area from 155-157 m2/gm.		 We are currently refining our synthesis process to yield, in commercial (kilogram) batches, an improved performance 200+ m2/gm nano-iron compound.

#3 PRICE: To get the same filtration capacity as 1 kg of our refined synthesis compound, you must buy 4-20 kg of the same material elsewhere. That makes our performance adjusted cost 67%-95% lower than alternate sources' prices. This website will be updated with a pricelist once refined process R&D is finalized.
