a, b Device prototype and its components. c Device flow rate with tap water in New Delhi and rejection of 1-μm particles measured in the laboratory are consistent with prior characterization of xylem filters. Filters were made from ginkgo of 4-cm diameter and 0.375-inch thickness. For the rejection performance, mean±s.d and individual data points are shown; n = 3 different filters.
