Project description
 

The aim of this project is to provide simple means of assessing the quality of freshwater in India. By developing a series of luminescent probes that can bind with the most important pollutants present in Indian freshwater, a crude first indication can be obtained about the presence or absence of such
pollutants and the related (un)safety to use the freshwater.
