- Additional information
- This EPSRC-funded work developed a novel fluorescence-based instrument to detect water contamination in-situ and in real time. The potential for meaningful application in disaster relief and enhanced community prosperity in areas of poor sanitation was recognized by The Diageo Foundation (which funded further development work), the UNESCO Network in Humanitarian Engineering, and African-based NGO, Fisherman’s Rest in Malawi (for on-site application).
