- BioSand_Filter abstract "A biosand filter (BSF) is a point-of-use water treatment system adapted from traditional slow sand filters. Biosand filters remove pathogens and suspended solids from water through a combination of biological and physical processes that take place in a sand column covered with a biofilm. BSFs have been shown to effectively remove heavy metals, turbidity, and other contaminants such as bacteria, viruses, and protozoa. BSFs also help to reduce discoloration, odor, and unpleasant taste. Studies have shown correlation between the use of BSFs and decreases in the occurrence of diarrheal disease and an increase in general health. Due to their effectiveness, ease of use, and lack of recurring costs, biosand filters are often considered appropriate technology in developing countries. It is estimated that over 200,000 BSFs are in use worldwide.".
