Case Studies

Case Study: Lead Detection in School Water Systems (USA)
A public school district implemented heavy metal test kits across 20 schools to screen for lead. The results led to targeted remediation, ensuring safe drinking water for over 15,000 students.

Case Study: Community-Based Soil Testing Initiative (India)
An environmental NGO used portable heavy metal test kits to educate rural farmers on the risks of cadmium and arsenic in soil. This helped reduce toxic crop exposure and improved local agricultural practices.

Case Study: University Chemistry Curriculum Integration (UK)
A university integrated colorimetric heavy metal kits into their undergraduate environmental chemistry course, allowing students to conduct real-world testing on local river samples and analyze heavy metal dispersion trends.
