Explanation
'AeroTrack,' developed by IIT Bombay, is a state-of-the-art sensor device designed to detect harmful pollutants in water, especially heavy metals and toxic chemicals, in real time.
Key features of AroTrack:-
- The device is capable of detecting trace pollutants such as arsenic, lead, and mercury in water.
- It is a compact and portable device that can be taken directly to water sources (rivers, lakes, or industrial discharges) for testing.
- It uses advanced electrochemical sensors that provide much faster results than traditional lab testing.
- This device could revolutionize clean water initiatives like the Ganga rejuvenation program and industrial waste monitoring.
