| We plan on creating a biological nitrate detector. Nitrate contamination is a growing problem all across the world, especially in countries that depend on agriculture. Such contamination can cause methehemoglobinemia, or blue baby syndrome. Our detector will glow red when placed in water that is contaminated with nitrates. An article published in April of 2008 in the Environmental Health Perspectives Journal documents how "the contamination of processed or unprocessed drinking water by fecal coliform bacteria has been reported worldwide." |  GDS | |
