New electronic nose with biodegradable polymer and monomer can detect hydrogen sulphide from sewers
New Delhi, April 17, 2021: Scientists have developed an electronic nose with biodegradable polymer and monomer that can detect hydrogen sulphide (H2S), a poisonous, corrosive, and flammable gas produced from swamps and sewers. H2S is the primary gas produced from the microbial breakdown of organic matter in the absence of oxygen, and this necessitates easy […]
