Japan has developed a method for rapid detection of harmful metals in water

Business News Agency September 3 The Japanese researchers recently synthesized a fluorescent protein that can be used to quickly detect the presence of groundwater and other harmful metals such as arsenic, cadmium, and lead. This kind of detection technology is low in cost and easy to operate. Researchers hope to make it practical in a year or two.

This artificially synthesized protein is in powder form, easy to store, and the detection device can be carried around. Maeda Yongyu said: "Using this detection technology can only detect three metals: arsenic, cadmium, and lead. We hope to further detect other harmful metals in the future and reduce the inspection time to about 5 minutes."
