Description
Summary:Water is vital for all life on Earth. Its contamination would mean grave effects to those consuming it. In spite of the necessity of determining contaminants present in water, the tools and methods available are costly and time-consuming. Therefore, this research aims to develop a portable system that employs the principles of Anodic Stripping Differential Pulse Voltammetry to detect and analyze water samples for possible traces of Lead, Copper and Cadmium. The result of the analysis is displayed in the LCD and thermal printer.
