Nualgi Sets Sights on Eliminating Water Pollution in United States with Innovative Nanotechnology
Summary
Nualgi’s formula is certified non-toxic by the Indian Institute of Toxicology Research and has successfully been used in large lakes and rivers in India for over ten years.Independent aquaculture consultant and leader of the research study, Tom Frese, founder of AquaSol, Inc., is encouraged by the possibilities of large-scale application of this type of nanotechnology." To help fund the Mississippi State University research study and allow Nualgi to begin treating harmful algae blooms in public waterways, they launched a Kickstarter campaign that will run for two weeks, from Nov. 24th - Dec, 8th 2014.However, adoption in the United States has been limited to private buyers of their Nualgi AquariumTM & Nualgi PondsTM products due to regulatory approval procedures.“When toxic algae in Lake Erie caused a ban on tap water this summer, I tried to donate the necessary Nualgi to treat the lake, but the lake managers weren’t permitted to use our product, so the lake went untreated and 500,000 residents of Toledo, OH were unable to access tap water,” said Kumar.While Kumar states that their water treatment can “easily control large-scale algae blooms,” in order to gain government approval Nualgi needs an independent University study based in the United States."To help fund the Mississippi State University research study and allow Nualgi to begin treating harmful algae blooms in public waterways, they launched a Kickstarter campaign that will run for two weeks, from Nov. 24th - Dec, 8th 2014.
