Solar Disinfection of Drinking Water Safe Drinking Water for Developing Nations and Anywhere in an Emergency

SODIS: SOlar DISinfection Photo credit: Eawag

SODIS Developed by Prof. Aftim Acra at American University of Beirut Further refined and promoted by Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science & Technology (EAWAG) See: And numerous others since Photo credit: sodis.ch

SODIS Methodology Use clear, colorless PET, <2 Liters Aerate water by shaking, for best results Turbidity <30 NTU; otherwise filter first

Mechanisms of Disinfection UV-A ( nm) interferes with DNA/RNA replication, cell metabolism, structure Also generates free radicals and peroxides that attack biological materials IR light heats the water, speeds reactions. At 50 C, disinfection is 3X faster Hence corrugated metal roof, or black-painted board can be useful.

Health Advantages Kills most of the most dangerous waterborne pathogens. Does not eliminate other vectors of disease (e.g., other fecal-oral pathways) Overall, using communities experience 30-80% reduction in diarrhea

Health Disadvantages? Toxic plastic leachate? PET contains NO bisphenyl A (BPA) Adipates and phthalates: Tests show after 17 h at 60 C, levels far below WHO guidelines, and about same as high-quality tapwater Antimony (Sb) is released in tiny amounts but far below WHO guidelines

Current Application 33 countries including: Bhutan, Bolivia, Burkina Faso, Cambodia, Cameroon, DR Congo, Ecuador, El Salvador, Ethiopia, Ghana, Guatemala, Guinea, Honduras, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Laos, Malawi, Mozambique, Nepal, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Perú, Philippines, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Sri Lanka, Togo, Uganda, Uzbekistan, Vietnam, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
