Monitoring Genotoxic Materials in Wastewater Using Biosensors

Water issue adressed: Too dirty

This study monitored genotoxic materials in the various stages of the wastewater treatment process. This was done using biosensors based on genetically modified E. coli bacteria. Our result showed that the treatment process did not cause a decrease in the genotoxicity level of the water.

This is how I came up with the idea for this project:

By studying DNA and being aware of water problems.
