"Drinkable Book" Could Purify Water With Nanotechnology

IBC World News reported that researchers at the University of Virginia have developed a nanotechnoogy-based water purification method that uses sheets of thick filter paper embedded with silver nanoparticles.
As quoted in the publication:

Dankovich said they wanted to see if the filters would work on ‘real water’ in Africa and not water purposely contaminated in the lab.
They found millions of bacteria in a place where raw sewage had been dumped.
She said that we could achieve 99.9 percent purity with their silver- and copper-nanoparticle paper, bringing bacteria levels comparable to those of U.S. drinking water.
