• Heavy Metal Detection and Removal Using Biosensor Microbes

  🔬 Project Documentation SECTION 1: ABSTRACT Significance: Heavy metal contamination, specifically mercury ($Hg^{2+}$), poses a critical threat due to its persistence and bioaccumulation in living organisms. In industrial and mining regions like Lima, Peru, traditional detection relies on expensive analytical equipment (ICP-MS), which is inaccessible to local communities. This project addresses the urgent need for a low-cost “sense-and-respond” biological system.
