The original paper is even more uplifting than this article : it also mentions that the material (an oxidized covalent triazine framework - CTF-OX) removes >99.9% of micropollutants and 98% of VOCs in less than 10 seconds. The team also broke the record for the highest uptake rate ever recorded for Bisphenol A (BPA), with 21.9 g mg−1 min−1.

The entire system uses evaporation, by placing it in direct sunlight (1 kW/m²). No electricity required.

The researchers claim that the purification system is made of inexpensive raw materials and is way cheaper than current solutions.

So I can't see mention of how much water in 10 seconds so I guess they mean all the water.

Yea because none of these "health agencies" have ever been influenced or compromised by outside entities. I asked if the filter removes fluoride, I didn't ask for a sermon from a know-nothing.

it's literally recommended by all major health agencies because of its dental benifits 💀💀

>Overall, these reviews found that water fluoridation appears to contribute to reduced tooth decay levels and doesn't seem to be associated with any significant health risks.

I can easily cut and paste from medical journals about how excessive flouride amounts impact other vital organs, Then I can cut and paste news articles about proven FDA corruption. So calm yourself
