In This Thread questions regarding the Sawyer Point One were raised by Murray et al of Tuft’s University.
As noted in the thread, Sawyer had a response challenging the findings.
In addition, Lindquist and Norman of Messiah College challenged the findings.
I communicated directly with Anna Murray, lead author of the Tuft’s paper. She provided a pdf of the Linquest paper, as well as a pdf of her rebuttal.
A summary would be: 1) Yes, it was Not a controlled study, 2) contamination was found Inside the fibers, 3) burst fibers away from the breached end were observed 4) e. coli did pass through the filters.
These two additional articles are behind a “professional” firewall.
I asked the author about posting these docs and she replied –
Hi Greg,
Thank you for asking.
Unfortunately we are not allowed to post papers on forums for copyright reasons. However, it would be perfectly acceptable for you to summarize and cite the papers, as you suggested.
Additionally, we (I, you, others) can send the pdfs to individuals who request to read the paper for personal use.
All the best,
Anna
If you are interested I would be glad to email the Lindquist Review and Murray Response. And please summarize and cite if you post elsewhere. Thanks.
