Sniffing Out Toxic Algae Blooms: A Novel Technique for Detecting Harmful Algal Blooms
Do you live near a lake or pond? If so, you may want to keep an eye out for toxic algae blooms. Researchers at the University of Utah have just developed a new technique for quickly and accurately “sniffing out” these potentially dangerous blooms. The new method uses a technique called ‘electronic nose’ to quickly detect the presence of toxic algae in water samples. This could be a major step forward in helping to protect the public from the dangers of toxic algae blooms.
