London, April 14: A team of researchers has said the technology that
uses fluorescence sensors to pick up trace sewage contamination may
help increase public confidence in recycled water.
"A rapid,
highly sensitive and selective detector is urgently required to detect
contamination events in recycled water systems," Dr Rita Henderson of
the University of New South Wales Water Research Centre told ABC News.
Henderson said that fluorescence spectroscopy may provide the solution because of its high sensitivity.
