This Man is Designing an App That Can Detect Toxins in Drinking Water

This Man is Designing an App That Can Detect Toxins in Drinking Water
With a simple, but accurate user-friendly design, this app has the potential to save millions of lives by identifying fluoride and salinity in water.

Iftak Hussain's home in India is filled with contaminated lakes and water supplies that are filled with elevated levels of arsenic and fluoride.

Since most testing equipment is confined to laboratories, Iftak's cheap, accurate, and user-friendly design could save thousands of lives.

The app can already detect and report specific levels of fluoride, turbidity, and salinity, but the project needs more funding if it is to test for arsenic and iron as well.

His crowdfunding campaign page states that they have already applied for a project grant from DST India which will be pending until further notice.
