Interview with Dr. Suphiya Khan conducted by Prof John Hoffmire, Chairperson at Oxford Pharmaceuticals & Director Centre of Business & Poverty from University of Oxford
An interview with Dr. Suphiya Khan, Associate Professor, Banasthali University, India, and Founding Director at Drumlins Water Technologies PVT LTD
John Hoffmire: When I met you in Oxford two years ago, if I remember right, you were working on providing safer drinking water throughout India. Is that still one of your priorities?
Suphiya: You remember right. In India, as in many other parts of the world, water scarcity is considered a major crisis in the 21st century. And fluoride contamination is a major contributor to the world water crisis affecting about 200 million people worldwide.
My research has led to a new, low-cost method to remove harmful fluoride from drinking water with specially made teabag-like pouches. This new method uses pouches covered with nanoparticles synthesized from organically grown jojoba seeds to remove fluoride from water. Jojoba is easily available, and the nanoparticles (iron and aluminum) are taken out as waste byproducts of an oil extraction process from the jojoba seeds. All that one needs to do is dip the special pouch in water and it will remove the fluoride.
Yes, it is still my priority to provide affordable water solutions to the communities and one day make India a country where there is no water with too much fluoride.
