IIT Bombay Unveils AroTrack
In November 2024, scientists from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay) unveiled AroTrack, an economical and portable device designed to detect harmful pollutants such as phenol and benzene in water.
- The device uses a biosensor called MopR, derived from bacteria in polluted environments, to identify pollutants with high precision.
How AroTrack Works?
- The MopR biosensor detects pollutants through a chemical reaction that causes a change in the colour of a protein solution when aromatic compounds are present.
- The device is equipped with a light-emitting diode (LED) and phototransistor to measure the colour intensity, which correlates to the concentration of pollutants.
- AroTrack ....
