The discovery can help farmers with timely intervention a...

Scientists create plant-based sensor to monitor the levels of arsenic in the ground This can be used for environmental monitoring and for food safety since arsenic is a common contaminant for agricultural products as rice, vegetables and tea leaves. Dec 16, 2020 11:51:39 IST Scientists from MIT have now developed a plant nano bionic optical sensor that will enable them to detect and monitor toxic heavy metal arsenic in real-time. According to a release by MIT, scientists from the Disruptive and Sustainable Technologies for Agricultural Precision (DiSTAP) research group at the Singapore-MIT Al...

Plant-Based Sensor Detects Arsenic Levels in Real Time Written by AZoSensorsDec 14 2020 Scientists have designed a novel living plant-based sensor that can detect and track arsenic levels in the soil in real time. Food crops can be contaminated with arsenic through water, given that the chemical is naturally present at high levels in groundwater in certain areas. Image Credit: Mufid Majnun from Pixabay. Arsenic is known to be a highly noxious heavy metal. In fact, arsenic pollution is a significant threat to human beings and ecosystems in several Asia-Pacific nations. According to the World H...
