You are aware that Dr. Abul Hussam, who invented the low cost arsenic mitigation filter capable of decontaminating drinking water, was awarded Grainger Challenge Prize for sustainability by the National Academy of Engineering, USA. This prize is known as the Nobel in Technology. Dr. Hussam's younger brothers Dr. Abul Munir is the co-inventor and Dr. Abul Barakat (Professor of Economics, Dhaka University) is the co-worker in the whole process of invention in the last ten years. Unfortunately, this great invention did not receive wide coverage in our media. Taher Uddin Consultant, Human Development Research Centre
