“Today, atomic emission spectroscopy or mass spectroscopy techniques for water evaluation require very expensive instrumentation, and for the samples to be analyzed with prior preparation to get results.”
Summary
According to the United Nations, over three billion people are at risk because the health of their freshwater ecosystems is unknown. Having portable, cost-effective detection systems will help in identifying impure and dangerous water sources, and new research from Dismas Choge, University of Eldoret, Kenya, addresses that issue by focusing on the development of a multicolor physical laser that can be deployed for detecting water contaminants.
