Dr Kanetsi Oda, a scientist from Osaka University of Japan, recently invented an herbal product, which will purify the polluted water without any side effect.

By using this product, Polymer Flocculent (PG alpha 21 Ca), polluted water of ponds, rivers and canals would be purified in Bangladesh.

This was disclosed at a press conference organised by Wonderland Children Park at the National Press Club in the city yesterday. GM Mostafizur Rahman, Managing Director of Wonderland Group, the visiting scientist and his 13-member entourage, among others, were present on the occasion.

Dr Oda said, "I came here not to promote business.

I came only for introducing my invention for the welfare of the people of this country."

The invented product is being used in 13 countries across the world at present. This product could be used for water of ponds, canals and rivers of urban or rural areas and could easily drinking water be converted in. This would help to reduce scarcity of pure drinking water in the country, he said.

Nippon Poly Glu Co Ltd of Japan is the manufacturer of the product. According to the Japanese scientist, this product will purify polluted water by recycling process.
