This is an extremely important development as scientists have now found a new way to improve water quality, and not just in the United States. What is this new technology? … In other words, through the machine’s built-in optical sensors, scientists are able to monitor E.coli’s biochemical responses to exposure to different metals, such as chromium and arsenic, and discover if the samples of water are contaminated at a much earlier rate.
