I-Corps: Translation potential of a sensor for detecting phosphorus levels in water — NSF Award to University of Wisconsin-Milwauk
This I-Corps project is based on the development of a sensor to detect phosphorous levels in water. Excess phosphorus in water resources is a major contributor to harmful algal blooms and eutrophication (nutrient enrichment), which threatens ecosystems, drinking water safety, and agricultural sustainability.

| Abstract | This I-Corps project is based on the development of a sensor to detect phosphorous levels in water. Excess phosphorus in water resources is a major contributor to harmful algal blooms and eutrophication (nutrient enrichment), which threatens ecosystems, drinking water safety, and agricultural sustainability. Current phosphorus testing methods are often expensive, slow, and unsuitable for field use. This technology uses a composite material that provides accurate and real-time detection of phosph |
