Metallic Superheroes That Trap Poisonous Arsenic From Water

Water pollution is a very concerning problem since it affects millions of people around the world. Arsenic is a highly toxic metal that can cause serious health problems if consumed. Substances called metal oxides can help to remove contaminants like arsenic from water, and researchers have recently shown that these superheroes are even more powerful when they are combined. In anime, the superheroes Goku and Vegeta can fuse to become Gogeta, and when they do so their power increases. Similarly, combining metal oxides is a superpower that could save the world from poisonous arsenic, through a trapping mechanism called adsorption. In this article, we will explain what arsenic is, how it can affect humans, and how metal oxides might eventually help us to produce safer water.
