PRHB Pure H2O Bio Technologies Inc New (CE)

Pure H2O Bio-Technologies, Inc. (Pink Sheets:PRHB) announced today the results from three successful studies focused on potable water disinfection treatment for two major microbial threats to human health. The microorganisms, Escherichia coli (bacterium) and Cryptosporidium parvum (protozoan parasite of humans), were responsible for 9,877 and 7,212 human cases, respectively, during 2005 according to a March 2006 American Waterworks Association review article by P. Rochelle and J. Clancy. Testing conducted for Pure H2O Bio-Technologies, Inc., by Clancy Environmental Consultants, Inc. showed that activated tetrasilver tetraoxide (TTO) was effective as a disinfectant for both organisms. TTO is a unique divalent silver compound, which is produced in a crystalline form, with disinfectant properties superior to the common forms of silver. Joseph P. Doxey, president of Pure H2O Bio-Technologies, Inc. said: "The results show that the company can use this disinfectant as an alternative to those which are in current municipal and commercial use for drinking water treatment. Moreover, these studies on tetrasilver tetraoxide (patent pending) reported on July 1, 2005, Sept. 8, 2006 and October 25, 2006, respectively, are significant because Cryptosporidium oocysts are resistant to halogens such as chlorine and this pathogen has been known to escape state-of-the-art municipal water treatment systems and result in many human health outbreaks. E. coli although more easily disinfected, also has special significance as a waterborne and foodborne pathogen involved in recent outbreaks." Reports from the Pure H2O Bio-Technologies studies of July 1, 2005 and October 25, 2006 showed that low concentrations of TTO, activated by two different oxidizing agents caused significant reductions in high concentrations of Cryptosporidium oocysts (highly resistant form of this waterborne parasite). The Sept. 8, 2006 study showed that activated/oxidized TTO caused more than a five-log10 reduction of E. coli (killed more than 100,000 bacteria) in 2 and 5 min. Thus, TTO can be incorporated into the contained drinking water disinfection system developed by Pure H20 Bio-Technologies and which will be submitted to the EPA verification conducted through NSF. The Company PHBT is a publicly held company specializing in the manufacturing, design and sale of its unique residential, commercial and hospital point-of-use potable water disinfection systems. These systems are specifically designed to work effectively against water-borne pathogens and remove heavy metals and objectionable biomass.
