Moringa oleifera seed extract: A halal friendly alternative water disinfection mechanism

The availability of good potable water and proper sanitation are important for human health but over 1.2 billion people lack access to it particularly in developing countries. The conventional treatment of water consists of coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, filtration and disinfection is use...
