Grants and Contributions:
Title:
An Automated System for Monitoring Water Pollutants
Agreement Number:
1037963
Agreement Value:
$50,000.00
Agreement Date:
Nov 1, 2025 - Mar 25, 2026
Description:
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.
