Login for More InformationOur project is to design a compact, affordable device that detects microplastics in bottled water, giving users instant and reliable results.
Project Overview
Our project focuses on designing a portable and affordable device that can detect microplastics in bottled water. Current methods are costly, complex, and inaccessible to everyday consumers, so we aim to make our device compact, easy to use, and under $50. It will provide instant, reliable results and be durable enough for frequent use. By creating this prototype, we hope to give individuals and communities a practical way to monitor their water quality in real time.
