Published purpose
Recent advances in sensor technologies allow the firm to develop a new and unique set of sensors for detecting common aquatic pollutants common in urban and agricultural runoff. Such pollutants are currently measured using expensive and time-consuming laboratory methods. Instead, the firm will create small and inexpensive pollution sensors that take advantage of miniaturized optics, to create a multi-function spectrometer that can detect the new types of harmful algal blooms and climate change-driven increases in dissolved organic carbon that are affecting water treatment plants.
