A material made from abaca and polyester fibers could help clean contaminated water! ๐ฟ๐ง Filipino researchers developed a specially modified material using electron-beam radiation, giving it the ability to absorb or bind toxic metals such as lead, cadmium, and nickel.
๐ญ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐:
Which property makes the treated abaca material useful for cleaning contaminated water?
A. It filters sand
B. It binds metals
C. It produces oxygen
D. It kills bacteria

๐๐๐: Electron-beam radiation modifies the abaca-based material so it can absorb or bind dissolved toxic metals in contaminated water. After removing the pollutants, the material can also be treated and reused, showing its potential for sustainable water treatment. ๐งโป๏ธ
๐ฌโจ Day 18 reminds us that science can transform natural materials into innovative solutions for environmental challenges. Filipino research and technology continue to show how local resources can contribute to protecting our water and ecosystems.
