Couldn't the outside of the straw provide a surface for the bacteria to grow on and eventually reach the top? I tried a search to see what type of material the outside is made of but couldn't find a result. Anyone know the answer to this?

When a billion people around the world lack access to clean drinking water, this could be revolutionary. Is there a catch?

this is cool but there is caution needed. from one article on the cautions "participants thought of gathering water as a communal experience and didn't like FrontierStraw's individualistic aspect. (One Straw takes care of one person, not the whole family.) I e-mailed Vestergaard Frandsen for a reaction. Roelie Bottema of VF replied, saying that "LifeStraw cannot be compared with POU devices. LifeStraw was designed as a mobile, personal tool and therefore aims at solving the problem we saw with people who are travelling: they need something to take with them."" full story here: http://globalhealthreport.blogspot.com/2007/03/study-caution-on-lifestraw .html

Hopefully this is as good as it seems. I don't trust the EPA so who knows... I'll just hope for the best.

Great products that make the world a better place. I'm glad these scientists and engineers are working on important stuff like this instead of maker smaller, faster, cuter cel phones and such.
