From the article: “Both in laboratory tests and in a larger test facility located directly on the premises of the Zurich Water Works, the biologically active slow sand filter was the most effective at retaining nanoparticles—achieving an efficacy level in the region of 99.9%.”

This is super important news. Nanoplastics are horrific poisons that are in water all over the world.
