border: none;" cite="http://www.psfk.com/2009/07/portable-aqualris-purifies-water-with-the-sun.html"><P>The purifier is intended for regions near the tropics and can be worn around the neck like a lanyard.  It comes with a removable re-usable filter that houses the converter crystals that do all the purification work.  Only 2% of the world’s water is drinkable and the issue of finding uncontaminated water in the tropics is increasingly difficult.  The AquaIris hopes to provide a simple tool to a complex problem and it recently won a <A target="_blank" href="http://www.jamesdysonaward.org/Default.aspx">James Dyson award</A> to put the design into production.</P></blockquote><div style="border-bottom: solid 1px #dcdcdc;
