A scientist from North Carolina State University found a method to remove radioactive material from drinking water with a formula that he created. material made ​​from a combination of hemicellulose, forest byproducts, and chitosan, powdered skin of crustaceans, are able to absorb water and extract the contamination in it, including iodide radioactive .
Professor Joel Pawlak from North Carolina State University said that one of the major health risks caused by nuclear accidents is, radioactive iodide is soluble in water to drink, Because iodide is chemically identical to non-radioactive iodide, the human body can not distinguish. As a result, allowing the cumulation of this substance in the thyroid and eventually cause cancer.Professor Joel Pawlak create a formula to bind iodide in water and trap him, then that material can be disposed of without risk to humans or the environment. In the form of solid foam material can also remove heavy metals such as arsenic from water or salt from sea water to turn it into clean drinking water. This foam could bring clean water and without electricity.
