The summer season is the most important water in this season. Life cannot be imagined properly without water. Nowadays, there are many purifiers and filters present to clean the water, but your problem is going to be solved. Recently, IIT has developed a new sensor in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, which identifies the amount of arsenic present in water.

No expert technician is required to run this sensor. The sensor presents data in a short time. This sensor has been prepared for people living in rural areas not only urban areas. Actually, clean water is often not available in rural areas.

Know how the sensor works

Talking about this special kind of sensor, it is used without a technician which is accurately identified the arsenic. It has been linked to a circuit board and ‘Orderino’ module, allowing it to share figures in real time. This sensor is especially identified by identifying the amount of arsenic found in water. Regarding this, the researcher Dr. Mahesh Kumar, who made the sensor, said that its design user has been made favorable so that people can run it easily in rural areas also.

So far, spectroscopic and electrochemical techniques have been used to examine arsenic, but it is also very expensive and technically complicated. It is effective to deal with the problem of arsenic.

The amount of arsenic threatens health

Let us tell you that, if the level of arsenic in the water increases, there are many health problems. Skin cancer, nervous system problems and heart disease are prominent in this. The presence of arsenic in groundwater can take severe form when the safe range prescribed by the World Health Organization exceeds 10 PPB.

Statistics show that, even today, many people are dependent on tap and well for drinking water. The amount of arsenic in groundwater sources of 108 countries is higher than a safe level. This problem has become serious in 20 states of India and four union territories.
