Artificial Nose Knows Toxins

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
CHAMPAIGN, Ill., Sept. 14, 2009 – An artificial nose for detecting toxic industrial chemicals (TICs) that works by visualizing odors has been developed and, according to Kenneth Suslick and his team at the University of Illinois, it’s simple, fast and inexpensive. Kenneth Suslick, the Schmidt Professor of Chemistry at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and his team developed a sensor that uses reactive pigments to detect toxic industrial chemicals.
